POSI-FLATE PRESENTATION
Other Valves Fight Friction....Posi-flate Inflatable Seated butterfly valves does not We Designed It Out! Unlike other valves that seal with friction, Posi-flate's unique butterfly valve uses an inflatable seat to seal with air pressure. Thus it requires less torque and a smaller actuator, resulting in lower overall valve cost. Plus, the seat automatically compensates for wear, providing longer valve life. |

Less friction, low torque, less wear, longer life.
Posi-flate's unique butterfly valve design uses air pressure to expand the seat against the disc, providing even pressure distribution for a bubble-tight seal, every time. Because the seat makes only casual contact with the disc during valve opening and closing, there is minimal disc impingement. This is in contrast to conventional butterfly valves where disc impingement leads to shaving of the seat, decreasing the overall performance and valve life.
Substantially less torque is required to open and close the Posi-flate butterfly valve, thus a smaller actuator can be used resulting in lower overall valve cost.
In actual comparison tests and documented field applications, the Posi-flate butterfly valve outperformed all other valves. In fact, a Posi-flate valve life of one to three million cycles, even in extremely abrasive applications, is not uncommon. For dry solids, gases and slurry applications, the Posi-flate inflatable seated butterfly valve is unsurpassed.

How Posi-flate liquid butterfly Valves Work
|
Closed, unsealed
As the valve rotates into the closed position, the disc makes only casual contact with the seat, reducing friction, wear and torque requirements. 
|
Closed, sealed
After the valve is closed, the seat inflates against the disc providing more sealing surface and an even pressure distribution against the disc. 
|
Open, unsealed
Before the valve opens, the seat is first deflated. The disc is then free to rotate to the open position.
