Aira is a recognized name in the industrial valve manufacturing sector. With an unwavering commitment to quality, performance, and innovation, Aira Euro introduces its 2-piece design wafer type ball valve that features a replaceable seat and is available with a CE-approved rotary actuator. This valve is designed for highly demanding applications where space-saving design, reliable sealing, and automation-ready operation are essential.
Manufactured entirely in-house, this valve is engineered using high-quality materials such as WCB, CF8, CF8M, and CF3M for the body and CF8, CF8M, CF3M for the ball. The seat materials include PTFE, GFT, CFT, TFM, and PEEK, ensuring suitability for a wide range of media including water, air, oil, and gas.
This ball valve is available in sizes ranging from 1 inch to 4 inches. It is capable of handling a maximum working pressure of 10 bar and can operate at temperatures of up to 180 degrees Celsius. The wafer-type flanged end is compatible with ASME B16.5 Class 150# standards, making it highly adaptable across multiple piping systems.
