The butterfly valve 565 is increasingly being used in plastic piping systems, particularly in the maritime and offshore sectors. However, the question remains: is this valve really better than traditional designs? In this blog, we compare this latest valve with traditional butterfly valves.
What exactly is the 565 butterfly valve?
This marine butterfly valve allows you to control the flow of your pipeline. The valve is one of the best choices for optimising your piping systems and is built for water applications and a wide range of other applications. The 565 has a much lower purchase price and saves even more thanks to its lower static weight. This means less energy is required for processing and transport.
Key advantages of the 565 butterfly valve
- Direct replacement: no additional work or new designs required for installation.
- 60% lighter: this weight reduction makes it possible to save fuel and increase load capacity. On a cruise ship, for example, 600 metal butterfly valves can be replaced, saving 10 tonnes of weight.
- Highly reliable: the butterfly valve 565 is extremely well protected against wear and corrosion.
- Reduced costs: in the long term, the 565 outperforms its metal counterparts, reducing maintenance costs.
- Ready for digitalisation: the butterfly valve can be expanded with various actuators.
- Lower production footprint: Energy and raw material waste in industrial production is further reduced by its long service life, thanks to higher corrosion resistance.
Comparison of butterfly valve 565 vs. traditional valve
| Characteristic | Butterfly valve 565 | Traditional valve |
| Weight | Light (Polymer) | Heavy (metal) |
| Resistance to corrosion | Very good | Limited |
| Energy consumption | Lower | Higher |
| Maintenance | Little | Regularly |
| Installation | Fast and easy | More complex |
When to choose butterfly valve 565
The butterfly valve 565 is fascinating for companies active in maritime and offshore applications. This butterfly valve also offers clear advantages for systems that work with salt water or chemical liquids. A butterfly valve 565 reduces costs because the maintenance costs are lower than those of metal valves.
Conclusion
The butterfly valve 565 offers demonstrable added value compared to traditional butterfly valves. With its low weight, high chemical resistance and minimal maintenance requirements, it is the logical choice for maritime or offshore applications.
