WANVALVE WP11-K Sanitary Ball Valve – Clamp Ball Valve with Pneumatic Actuation

The WANVALVE WP11-K pneumatic ball valve is engineered for precise flow control in sanitary systems. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel or carbon steel upon request, this pneumatically actuated ball valve provides superior durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use with compressed air, liquids, and other process media.
Its stainless steel sanitary body ensures compliance with hygienic standards required in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical systems.

Key Features

• Material Excellence: The valve body is made from SS304, SS316, or SS316L stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting performance. Optional carbon steel construction is available for specific industrial uses.

• Pneumatic Actuation: Available in both single acting and double acting configurations, the pneumatic actuated ball valves offer precise and stable control for automated systems.

• Clamp Connection: The clamp ball valve design supports quick installation and easy cleaning, ideal for sanitary pipeline systems.

• Pressure & Temperature Range: Designed to operate under pressures from 10 to 16 bar (145–232 psi) and temperatures from -5°C to 180°C (23°F to 356°F).

• Hygienic and Efficient Flow: The sanitary ball structure provides a smooth bore that minimizes contamination and pressure drop, maintaining product purity.

Working Principle

The pneumatic ball valve operates using compressed air to drive the actuator, which rotates the ball inside the valve body for precise on/off control. The sanitary clamp connection allows fast assembly, while the smooth ball surface ensures minimal turbulence and easy cleaning. This design makes it an ideal choice for hygienic processing systems that require accurate and automated flow regulation.
