Ball valves
On this page, we have a wide range of ball valves in different designs that work for sanitary and industrial needs. We have manual, electric, automatic or pneumatic ball valves - all made in a robust construction and compact design. Explore the selection on this page and order ball valves from Alflow.
Ball valves provide shut-off in the installation
A ball valve, also called ball valve, is one of the most commonly used valves. It belongs to the group Shut-off valvesand is therefore suitable for shutting off gases or liquids for several industries. The advantage of a ball valve is that it can shut off most media under both vacuum and pressure. If you or your customers have used a solenoid valve before, you probably know that it is not tight when it comes into contact with chemical liquids and gases or if there is a difference in pressure. This is where a ball valve can help you get the job done - thanks to its simple and solid construction.
The ball valve is made up of a valve body with hydraulic connections and seals. It helps seal the flow of liquids and gases with a ball that has a pierced hole. The small ball can have either two or three holes, so you can decide how you want the flow to be. This gives the ball valve an optimal and efficient way to regulate the flow, as it can decide which liquids and gases should not be in the flow.
Ball valves for multiple needs
Thanks to the small ball in the valve, it can precisely regulate, open or close the flow of various media. Other shut-off valves may not offer the same sealing as our ball valve, which is why an Alflow ball valve may be the right choice if you want the best result. As you may know, you can use a ball valve under vacuum and pressure. This means that if you work with chemically aggressive media, our ball valves in good materials are ideal for use in large and small installations.
You can use our ball valves for several industries, including:
- Food industry
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Chemical industry
So whether the valve is to work with district heating, food or chemical media, we have a ball valve for multiple purposes. Our valves are made of stainless steel, acid-proof steel or plastic, offering the most optimal sealing of various media in the installation.
Find user-friendly ball valves at Alflow
Our ball valves are easy to use as you can choose whether they are manual, electric, automatic or pneumatic. If the valve is a manual model, simply turn the handle. This allows you to quickly regulate the flow of liquids and gases or close the valve completely.
If the system requires a more advanced solution, a pneumatic, electric or automatic ball valve is suitable. Here, the valve can be opened or closed electronically or using compressed air. The electric models can close the valve electronically to give you the most precise flow of gas or water. So if it's important that you get the most accurate seal in the ball valve, an electric model may be the right choice.
A pneumatic ball valve works by keeping the valve tight using air in a hydraulic system. Whichever type you choose, you'll get the most efficient solution for the job with our great ball valves.
Valves in stainless steel and acid-proof designs
When choosing from our many valves, there are several valve types to choose from. Are you working with acids and other chemically aggressive media? Then our acid-resistant valves are the obvious choice. They have a resistant surface treatment so they can be used in the installation for several years
An acid-proof valve is hot-dip galvanised, which means that it has been immersed in molten zinc that provides solid protection against acid and other media. However, if the job involves working with water, a stainless steel model may be ideal to use. It doesn't offer the same amount of protection as our acid-resistant models, but it's also up to the task.

What is a ball valve?
A ball valve is a simple on/off (stop) valve available as a manual and an automatic valve. It belongs to the shut-off valve type and is widely used in processes, often as an alternative to the butterfly valve.
What are the benefits of a ball valve?
Ball valves can be used for most fluids and processes. They are also suitable for particles and viscous liquids.
What are the disadvantages of a ball valve?
A ball valve can create pressure surges if it is closed quickly against a pumped fluid flow.
What typical ball valves are there?
The following ball valve types are available: manual valves with handle, automatic valves (pneumatic actuator/electric actuator), 2-way and 3-way valves. Control and indicator units are also available for both manual and automatic ball valves.
