Gate valves have a shut on/off mechanism. There is an internal gate device that goes up, allowing media flow and goes down to close the valve. One distinguishing feature of the gate-valve is its straight passageway that reduces pressure loss and allows easy cleaning. There is also less leakage as media flow is slower.
Butterfly valves have discs that act as gate to open or close fluid channels. This design allows the valve to be bidirectional. In many industrial applications, valves are opened and closed by hydraulic pressure. Manual, pneumatic, electronic operation, MFVALVE provides you with a variety of butterfly valve options
