Electric gate valves play a critical role in modern industrial fluid control systems, offering precision and ease of operation. These valves are designed to regulate the flow of liquids, gases, and slurries through pipelines by adjusting the opening and closing mechanism via an electric actuator. Unlike manual or pneumatic gate valves, electric gate valves provide enhanced automation and are ideal for applications requiring remote control or precise adjustment.

    What is an Electric Gate Valve?

    An electric gate valve is a type of valve used to start or stop the flow of fluids in a pipeline. The term "gate" refers to the valve's internal mechanism, which consists of a wedge or gate that moves up and down to control the flow. What distinguishes electric gate valves from traditional variants is the use of an electric actuator to operate the gate instead of manual or pneumatic means.
