In palm oil factories, common valve types, their approximate proportions, and key features are as follows:
· Gate valves (25%): Ideal for on/off control in large-diameter pipelines, offering minimal flow resistance when fully open.
· Globe valves (15%): Precise for throttling flow, often used in applications requiring accurate pressure regulation.
· Ball valves (20%): Quick to operate with tight sealing, suitable for handling viscous palm oil and slurries.
· Check valves (10%): Prevent backflow, critical in maintaining unidirectional flow in processing lines.
· Butterfly valves (12%): Lightweight and cost-effective, efficient for large flow rates in water or steam systems.
· Pneumatic valves (8%): Fast-acting with air-driven operation, ideal for automated processes like oil extraction stages.
· Electric valves (7%): Offer precise remote control and integration with smart systems, reducing manual intervention.
· Others (3%): Include specialty valves for niche uses like high-temperature sterilization lines.
Notably, pneumatic and electric valves are seeing rapid growth—pneumatic valves up 12% YoY, electric valves up 15%—driven by demand for automation and efficiency.
