FIBV Ceramic Inflatable Butterfly Valve
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

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.
