Mechanical and manual valves
Mechanical valves are available with a wide range of functions and actuation methods in order to better adapt to various industrial applications. Their versatility is evident in their ability to effectively operate with different types of fluids – both liquids and gases – under various pressures and temperatures. These valves are particularly renowned for their reliability, derived from their robust construction. One of the main features of mechanical valves is their ability to offer precise control because they are actuated directly by the moving part of the machine.
Manual valves are fundamental mechanical components in piping systems, used to control the flow of liquids, gases, or vapours through pipelines. These valves allow operators to start, stop, or modulate the flow manually, ensuring direct and immediate control over the system in which they are installed.

Types of Mechanical Valves
Mechanical valves are vital tools in various industrial sectors for controlling fluid flow such as gases, water, and oil. There are different types of mechanical valves, each suited to specific operational needs:
- Ball Valves: Mainly used to control fluids under high pressure, these valves offer a tight seal through a perforated ball that rotates to open or close the flow.
- Check Valves: Prevent reverse fluid flow and are crucial for protecting equipment like pumps and compressors.
- Control Valves: Employed to precisely control fluid flow in complex systems, suitable for sectors like chemicals and petrochemicals. Each type of valve is designed to meet specific functional needs, ensuring the most effective choice for flow control in diverse industrial environments.
Advantages of Mechanical Valves
Mechanical valves offer several significant advantages in the industrial and engineering environment. Firstly, they guarantee precise control of fluid flow, enabling accurate and immediate adjustments. Additionally, they are robust and reliable, capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions and high pressures. Their mechanical structure ensures easy maintenance and low management costs over time.
