Stainless Steel Motorized Ball Valve | Electric On/Off Control
Automate your flow control with stainless steel motorized ball valve. Remote on/off, 1000 psi pressure rating, IP67 waterproof, zero leakage. Ideal for water, oil, gas. ISO 5211 mounting.
Description
A Stainless Steel Motorized Ball Valve is an automated valve that rotates the ball core by 90° via an electric actuator to cut off, connect or modulate pipeline media. It integrates the outstanding sealing performance of stainless steel ball valves and the remote control capability of electric actuators, widely deployed in industrial piping systems requiring unattended operation, remote manipulation or timed automatic opening & closing.
Different from conventional manual ball valves, this type realizes remote intelligent control as its core upgrade. Operators can send 4-20mA analog signals or digital switching commands through DCS/PLC systems inside a central control room to finish valve opening and closing without arriving on-site physically. Such capability renders Electric Actuated Stainless Steel Ball Valve a core control component for smart water services, precision intelligent agriculture, unmanned factories and other modern industrial scenarios.
Material & Technical Specifications
The valve body is cast from CF8M (316 stainless steel), delivering premium corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for water, oil, gas and various weakly corrosive media. Both the ball and stem adopt 316 stainless steel, maintaining stable dimensional accuracy and torsion resistance under high-pressure operating conditions. Reinforced PTFE seats feature self-lubricating property and superior sealing capacity, realizing bubble-tight zero shutoff leakage.
The electric actuator housing reaches IP67 ingress protection (IP68 optional), waterproof and dustproof to suit outdoor humid or dusty installation environments. Optional power supplies include AC 110V/220V and DC 12V/24V to match power supply requirements of diverse control systems.

Core Merits: Automation, High Pressure Resistance & Premium Sealing
1. Remote Automated Control
Equipped with an electric actuator, the ball valve accepts remote instructions issued by central control systems. Whether centralized scheduling for large industrial parks or unattended management of remote pumping stations, Electric Actuated Stainless Steel Ball Valve drastically cuts labor inspection costs. Combined with time relays, it can execute opening/closing cycles automatically per preset schedules.
2. Excellent Pressure Withstand Capacity
Precision casting is adopted for valve body fabrication, with wall thickness engineered in compliance with ASME B16.34 standards to achieve a working pressure up to 1000 psi. It fits medium-to-high pressure water treatment, chemical transportation and petroleum pipeline systems. Compared with motorized butterfly valves of identical size, stainless steel motorized ball valves gain advantages in pressure bearing capacity and long-term operational stability.
3. Premium Sealing Performance
The reinforced PTFE seats cooperate tightly with precisely polished 316 stainless steel balls. Tested strictly per API 598 standards, bidirectional sealing achieves zero leakage. This trait is ideal for scenarios with strict anti-leakage demands, including chemical delivery pipelines, purified water treatment and food-grade process piping.
Application Scenarios
Stainless steel motorized ball valves serve versatile sectors as listed below:
- Municipal & Industrial Water Treatment: Remote dispatching of water supply networks, automatic regulation for each process section inside sewage plants
- Petrochemical Industry: Chemical transfer pipelines, emergency shutoff systems for tank farms
- HVAC & Building Automation: Automatic regulation and zoning control for chilled/hot water pipelines
- Food, Beverage & Pharmaceutical Industries: CIP online cleaning pipelines, automated batching systems
- Agricultural Irrigation: Timed automatic irrigation systems for large farms and intelligent greenhouse clusters
Practical Project Case: Large-Scale Intelligent Greenhouse Cluster in New South Wales, Australia
Spanning over 50 hectares near Sydney, this intelligent greenhouse cluster adopts hydroponic cultivation for premium vegetables. Inside the facility lies a high-pressure atomized irrigation system, where nutrient solutions and irrigation water are delivered to each cultivation zone through circular high-pressure pipelines at 300–600 psi, requiring frequent precise switching daily.
The greenhouse project adopted Stainless Steel Motorized Ball Valve with Manual Override supplied by CHCV to control liquid supply pipelines of individual cultivation zones. Each valve is fitted with an electric actuator equipped with manual override; maintenance staff can perform emergency manual operation via hand cranks even when power cuts or control system breakdowns occur. The valves open and close automatically following preset irrigation cycles (6:00, 12:00 and 18:00 daily), while manual remote adjustment is available to accommodate weather changes.
In this project, the automated feature of CHCV stainless steel motorized ball valves realizes unmanned irrigation management for greenhouses. High pressure resistance stabilizes operation of the high-pressure atomization system, and reliable sealing maintains zero leakage even under severe frequent switching (over 20 actuations per valve daily), effectively preventing waste of water and fertilizer. The entire facility has operated stably for more than two years since commissioning.
Conclusion
Integrating automatic control, high pressure endurance and zero-leak sealing functions into one unit, stainless steel motorized ball valves work as ideal options to upgrade system control levels and lower operational expenses, either for pipeline design of newly built automated factories or intelligent retrofitting of traditional manually operated valves.
