Electric Gate Valves | Motorized Valve Manufacturer & Supplier

 

Automated heavy-duty gate valves engineered for zero-leakage pipeline isolation and remote system control.

 

 
 
Product Overview

 

An electric gate valve combines a rugged gate valve with a multi-turn electric actuator to automate liquid and gas shut-off. The motorized unit drives the internal wedge to open or seal the pipeline without manual handwheel effort.

Built exclusively for full-flow isolation rather than flow throttling, the gate lifts entirely out of the flow path when open to minimize pressure drop. Motorized operation simplifies fluid control across buried pipelines, large mains, and hard-to-reach industrial processing lines.

FAQ

 

 

Q: What is an electric gate valve?

A: It is a gate valve fitted with an electric actuator that uses motor power to open or isolate fluid pipelines automatically or remotely.

Q: How does an electric gate valve differ from a manual gate valve?

A: Electric gate valves replace manual handwheels with motorized drives, enabling remote automation, PLC/DCS control, and easy operation of large-diameter valves.
