What is a motorized valve?
A Motorized Valve, also known as an electrically actuated valve, is a type of valve that is operated electrically or electronically via a motor. It allows for remote or automated fluid flow control in a pipeline or system. Motorized valves are commonly used in HVAC systems, water treatment plants, industrial processes, and other applications where precise control over fluid flow is necessary.
What is the purpose of a motor operated valve?
The primary purpose of a motor operated valve (MOV) is to automate the control of fluid flow in various industrial processes and systems. MOVs enable remote operation and precise control over the flow of liquids or gases by using an electric motor to actuate the valve. This automation improves efficiency, reduces manual labour, enhances safety by enabling quick response to emergency situations, and allows integration with control systems for better overall process management.
The purpose of an electric motor valve is to provide automated and precise control of fluid flow in a system, allowing for remote operation and integration into automated processes.
When to use a motorized valve?
Motorized valves are best used when automated, remote, or precise fluid flow control is required. They are ideal in HVAC systems for zone control, water treatment plants for process automation, industrial applications for operational efficiency, and fire protection systems for emergency response. Their versatility and ability to integrate with control systems make them suitable for critical and hard-to-access locations where manual operation is impractical.
Use Sensoware automated valves for precise, remote, and reliable fluid flow control in systems requiring efficient and accurate operation.
How to operate a motorized valve?
Operating a motorized valve involves understanding its control system and the specific application requirements. First, ensure the power supply and control signal connections are properly made according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, the valve will have a manual override, an actuator, and a control unit. Use the control unit or remote interface to send commands for opening or closing the valve. The actuator will receive these commands and move the valve to the desired position. Monitoring systems, such as position indicators or feedback signals, can help confirm the valve’s status. Always follow safety protocols and maintenance guidelines to ensure smooth operation.
A servo-controlled valve uses a feedback system to precisely regulate fluid flow and maintain accurate control in response to changing conditions.
Advantages of Electric Actuator for Valves
Electrical actuators for valves or Motorized Valves offer several advantages that make them an attractive choice in various applications.
Precision and Control
Electrical actuators provide precise control over valve position, allowing for fine adjustments and accurate flow regulation. They can be easily integrated with control systems for automated operation, ensuring consistent and repeatable performance.
Energy Efficiency
They consume energy only when adjusting the valve position, unlike pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, which may require continuous energy supply for maintaining positions. This can lead to significant energy savings over time.
Low Maintenance
Electrical actuators typically have fewer moving parts compared to pneumatic and hydraulic actuators, resulting in lower wear and tear. They do not require regular maintenance like lubrication or replacement of seals and filters.
Environmentally Friendly
They do not rely on oil or air supply, eliminating the risk of leaks or contamination. This makes them suitable for applications where cleanliness is critical, such as in food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor industries.
Ease of Installation
Electrical actuators are generally easier to install since they do not require complex plumbing or tubing. They can be directly connected to the power supply and control system
Versatility
They are available in various sizes and configurations. Electrical actuators can be used in diverse applications, including HVAC, water treatment, industrial automation, and more.
Integration with Smart Systems
Modern electrical actuators can be equipped with advanced features such as diagnostics, feedback, and communication capabilities. They can integrate with IoT and Industry 4.0 systems for enhanced monitoring and control
Safety
Electrical actuators can be designed with fail-safe features to ensure that valves move to a safe position in case of power failure. They can also include overload protection to prevent damage to the actuator and valve.
Cost-Effective
While the initial cost might be higher than pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, the overall lifecycle cost is often lower due to reduced maintenance, energy savings, and longer service life.
motorized ball valves
Ball valves with electric actuators are widely used in various industries for automated fluid flow control. They allow for remote operation and integration into automated control systems, minimizing the need for manual operation and monitoring.
2 Way Ball Valves with electric actuator
Available in wide range of material options to choose from, PVC, UPVC, CPVC, Brass, SS304, SS316 Stainless Steel, PTFE, Polypropylene etc.
Wide range for Ball Valves with Electric Actuators
Motorized butterfly valves are widely used in various industries to control the flow of fluids. They consist of a circular disc mounted on a rotating shaft, and when the valve is fully closed, the disc blocks the flow of fluid. When the valve is fully open, the disc is rotated a quarter turn, allowing fluid to pass through.

Ball Valve or Butterfly Valve. Which one to Choose?
Ball Valves are very heavy at larger pipe diameters and may require support
Butterfly Valves are available in Lighter weight even at larger pipe diameters
Ball Valves requires larger space than a butterfly valve
Butterfly Valve requires smaller installation space
Ball Valves are better suited for smaller pipe diameter (below DN 100) requires larger space than a butterfly valve
Butterfly Valves are suitable for larger pipe diameter (above DN 150), particular due to lightweight
Ball Valves provide a tight seals even at a high-pressure difference.
Butterfly Valves are prone to leakages at a high-pressure difference.
Ball Valves are more expensive compared to a butterfly valve
Butterfly Valves are cheaper than a ball valve, particularly for larger sizes.
Ball valves functions well for both ON/OFF and modulating control.
Butterfly Valves are Suitable for ON/OFF control but can be used for proportional control.
Ball valves are full port ball valves have no pressure drop.
Butterfly Valves has a disc which restricts flow creating a pressure drop.
Ball valves have many connection types with threads , flanges or tri-clove clamps.
