Centric butterfly valve with loose liner – wafer, lug and U-section with flanges

Our range of loose liner butterfly valves comprises wafer, lug and U-section butterfly valves in DN25-1600 with a wide selection of disc and liner materials. Actuations available are lever, gearbox, electrical or pneumatic actuators.

The replaceable liner has a very robust construction. Its convex form and integrated lip sealings in the shaft passage ensure a tight connection with the shaft. Moreover, the special shape ensures a unique grip to the body preventing any relative liner displacement during operation. The integrated gasket faces enable easy installation between flanges.

Design features of AVK centric butterfly valves with loose liner

  • Stainless steel shaft with anti-blowout design and position indication
  • Square driven disc mechanism with effective power transmission
  • Disc of acid-resistant stainless steel with streamlined shape for optimum flow characteristics and polished edges for minimum wear of the liner

  • EPDM rubber liner for wastewater aeration/HVAC (max. 130°C), self-lubricating PTFE coated steel bearings and 200 μm polyurethane coating

Where are butterfly valves with loose liner used?

Loose liner butterfly valves are typically a cost-effective solution for applications above ground where replacement and maintenance is relatively easy. The liner is replaceable without a full replacement of the valve and the design gives more options for different liner materials.

The centric butterfly valve with loose liner can be used for a wide range of applications within water and wastewater treatment as well as for industrial water applications.

  • Water: water treatment, water distribution, pumping installation, water transmission and HVAC
  • Wastewater treatment: aeration systems, clean sewage water, filter installations, pumping installations and membrane installations
  • Industrial water: cooling water and process water
