FIBV Ceramic Inflatable Butterfly Valve

The FIBV inflatable butterfly valve positions an expandable seat away from the stem axis so the seat can expand around the disc and be replaced without removing the stem assembly. It is intended for gas-solid media requiring sealing and clean flow surfaces.

    Design and construction

    • No rotational wear between the ceramic disc and the rubber valve seat.

      Pneumatic-driven, with low torque requirements and lightweight accessories for easy maintenance.

      Ceramic disc is highly wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and non-polluting.

    Operating conditions

    • 151112086
    • Suitable for gas-solid particle media where high sealing performance and cleanliness are critical.

      Maximum Temperature: 180 °C

      Maximum Pressure: 1.6 MPa

      Size Range: DN25–250 (1"–12")

      Sealing Class: ≥ IV

    Design and performance

    • Reliable sealing under particle-rich and clean operation requirements.

      Easy maintenance with rapid seat replacement and low actuation torque.
