Product Overview

The BQ640H Pneumatic Eccentric Semi-Ball Valve is a new-generation valve developed by Gaoshan Valve based on imported advanced semi-ball valve technology. It combines the sealing advantages of a ball valve with the flow-control characteristics of a butterfly valve, making it ideal for pipelines carrying media with impurities, slurry, and particulate matter. The pneumatic actuator provides fast 90° opening/closing with reliable automation control, widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, power generation, water supply, and drainage systems.

Key Advantages

Novel Design & Reliable Sealing

Simple structure with beautiful appearance. The eccentric design ensures the ball surface and valve seat contact and separate rapidly during opening and closing, minimizing friction and extending service life.

Fast 90° Actuation

Quarter-turn (90°) operation with small torque and smooth handling. Pneumatic actuation enables rapid remote control and automated process integration.

Self-Compensating Seal

Under eccentric operation, the disc and seat generate pretight force to seal. Micro wear on sealing surfaces is automatically compensated during operation, ensuring excellent sealing performance.

Energy Efficient

Low friction coefficient and self-adjusting seal reduce operating torque and energy consumption. The hard alloy sealing surface resists abrasion from particulate media.

Pneumatic Actuator

The BQ640H is equipped with a rack-and-pinion or scotch-yoke pneumatic actuator providing fast quarter-turn operation. Standard features include:

  • Double-acting or spring-return configuration
  • Air supply pressure: 0.4 – 0.7 MPa
  • Operating temperature: -20°C to +80°C (standard), high/low temp options available
  • Limit switches and solenoid valve ready
  • Positioner compatible for modulating control (4-20 mA)

Installation Guidelines

  • Install with flange alignment to avoid stress on valve body
  • Ensure pipeline is clean before installation to prevent damage to sealing surfaces
  • Recommended installation: horizontal pipeline with actuator upright; vertical installation consult factory
  • Provide adequate clearance for actuator removal and maintenance
  • Air supply lines must be filtered, regulated, and lubricated (FRL unit)
  • Perform pneumatic sealing test at 0.6 MPa before commissioning
