Ball Valves
Ball valves are essential flow control valves for solvent extraction plants and edible oil refineries, used to start, stop, and regulate the flow of liquids and gases across all major process lines. They are especially critical in systems handling hexane solvent, crude oil, and steam, where tight sealing, quick shutoff, and zero leakage are non-negotiable safety requirements.
A ball valve operates using a hollow spherical ball with a cylindrical bore through its center. When the handle is rotated 90 degrees, the ball turns to either align the bore with the pipeline — allowing full flow — or position it perpendicular, blocking flow completely. This straightforward mechanism enables rapid operation, dependable shutoff, and long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements throughout years of continuous industrial service.
