VS Enterprises supplies Mercury pneumatic actuator valves from Noida for plants that want to open and close process lines automatically.
A pneumatic actuator is mounted on a process valve, such as a ball or butterfly valve. When compressed air reaches the actuator, it turns the valve open or closed. A solenoid valve, controlled by a PLC or switch, sends the air. In spring-return types, the valve moves to a safe position if air fails.
Water treatment, chemical dosing, food and beverage lines, boiler feed, and any pipeline that needs remote on/off control.
Fresh, dry air prevents an actuator valve from sticking. The dust and moisture can cause seals to deteriorate, and cause the valve to be slow to respond. Consider installing a filter and make sure you have the proper-sized air line for the actuator volume. Constant air pressure will lead to constant valve speed.
Imagine what it needs to do when the air goes out. For boiler feed or chemical dosing, spring-return action closes or opens the valve automatically. For a water line that runs all the time, double-acting provides no-fail duty. Give us the duty and we will select the right type.
Line size, media, pressure and temperature, and whether fail-safe (spring return) action is needed.

A few practical details to help you frame your next engineering project.
Double-acting uses air to open and close; spring-return uses air one way and a spring the other, so it moves to a safe position on air failure.
Yes. See Mercury Single Solenoid Valve.
