Dixon™ 2-way ball valves are quarter-turn, straight through valves that use a ball to shut-off flow by sealing around matching seats to create a uniform sealing. Ball valves are used in situations where a tight shut-off is necessary.

A wide selection of Ball Valves is offered in varied applications. These valves are simple, rugged, and above all, dependable. Pneumatic and electric actuators are available for automated control. All Dixon™ ball valves are assembled without silicones.

Application
The Dixon™ BV2 series ball valves are specifically designed to 3A Standards and meet rigid specifications of Food Processing Industries. The cavity filled design will ensure product integrity and simplify maintenance in critical process applications. There are no cavities or dead spaces in the flow path, consequently, no settling areas where contamination could develop. The superior craftsmanship, choice materials, top quality strength and surface finish make the BV2 the preference of many wineries, breweries, and a multitude of other industries with sanitary, recirculation, mixing, and blending requirements.

Working Principal
The BV2 is operated manually with a handle or controlled remotely by a pneumatic or electric actuator. Dixon™ pneumatic actuators are available in spring return or double-acting. Electric actuators are available in a variety of voltages and options. The BV2 is also available with non-encapsulated seats for applications not requiring cavity fillers.
