As a specialized manufacturer of industrial valves, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to present our Electric Actuated Marine Ball Valve, engineered specifically for the demanding environment of automated ballast water control. Established in 2016 and backed by ISO9001 certification, we combine manufacturing expertise with a deep understanding of marine applications to deliver valves that ensure operational reliability and system integrity. This valve is designed to meet the critical need for precise, automated, and leak-proof flow control in ballast water management systems, helping ship operators comply with international regulations while enhancing onboard safety and efficiency.
Our Electric Actuated Marine Ball Valve integrates a robust quarter-turn ball valve with a high-performance electric actuator, creating a seamless automated control unit. The actuator provides reliable on/off operation, easily interfacing with shipboard control systems for remote or centralized ballast water management. The IP67 waterproof rating is a cornerstone feature, guaranteeing that the actuator assembly remains fully operational and protected against temporary immersion and dust ingress, which is crucial for the often wet and corrosive marine environment.
Key Features & Technical Advantages:
- Superior Sealing & Durability: The valve employs precision-machined ball and seat components, ensuring bubble-tight shut-off to prevent ballast water leakage, which is vital for vessel stability and environmental protection.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Available in materials like CF8M Stainless Steel and Duplex Steel, the valve body and internals resist corrosion from seawater, extending service life and reducing maintenance.
- Versatile Actuator Options: The electric actuator comes in various torque outputs and power supply voltages (24VDC, 110VAC, 220VAC, 380VAC) to match specific system requirements and global electrical standards.
- Flexible Control & Integration: Supports simple 2-point control (open/close) and can be equipped with 4-20mA modulating control or feedback signals (open/close, torque) for seamless integration into PLC-based ballast water treatment systems.
- Robust Design for Marine Use: All external fasteners are stainless steel, and the actuator housing is designed to withstand vibration, shock, and salt spray commonly encountered at sea.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this valve suitable for seawater ballast service?
A1: Absolutely. It is specifically designed for marine ballast water control. We offer body materials like Stainless Steel 316/316L and Duplex Steel, which provide excellent resistance to seawater corrosion. The IP67 waterproof actuator is also essential for this wet environment.
Q2: Can the electric actuator be controlled from the ship's central control room?
A2: Yes, that is a primary function. The actuator accepts standard on/off control signals, allowing for remote operation from a control panel or bridge. Options for 4-20mA control or feedback signals enable integration with more advanced PLC systems.
Q3: What is the significance of the IP67 rating?
A3: IP67 means the actuator is completely protected against dust ingress (6) and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes (7). This level of protection is critical for deck-mounted valves exposed to wash-down, waves, or heavy rain.
Q4: Are custom configurations available, such as different flange standards?
A4: Yes, customization is available. We can provide valves with flanges conforming to DIN, ANSI, JIS, or GB standards upon request. Other customizable features include special coatings, extended stems, and different seat materials.
Q5: What is the lead time for an order?
A5: Lead time depends on the order quantity and specific configuration. Standard models typically have shorter lead times. We provide accurate timelines upon receipt of your detailed inquiry and can leverage our efficient supply chain for timely delivery.
Q6: Do you provide technical support for installation and troubleshooting?
A6: Yes, we offer comprehensive technical support. This includes providing installation manuals, wiring diagrams, and operational guidelines. Our engineering team is also available to assist with integration questions or troubleshooting if needed.
Q7: What power supply voltages are most common for marine applications?
A7: For marine applications, 24VDC is very common for control circuits due to safety, while 110VAC or 220VAC/380VAC, 50/60Hz are standard for main power, depending on the vessel's electrical system. We offer actuators compatible with all these standards.
Q8: How does this valve help with ballast water management compliance?
A8: Reliable, leak-proof operation prevents unintended discharge, which is a key compliance aspect. Automated control allows for precise record-keeping of ballast operations. Its durability ensures consistent long-term performance, which is essential for meeting the ongoing requirements of regulations like the IMO BWM Convention.
