Trunnion Ball Valve: The ideal solution for critical applications

High-pressure fluids are a daily constant in demanding industrial applications, and managing these fluids can often be a complex process. It is essential to ensure their effective control with safety and proper sealing. Otherwise, failures such as leakage and premature wear may occur, compromising the productivity and safety.
The Trunnion Top-Entry Ball Valve stands out as the ideal solution for this type of application. Its robust design, reliable sealing, and optimized construction make it perfect for critical applications.

The Trunnion model differs from other types of ball valves due to its ball being supported and guided by two shafts, upper and lower, which reduces the operational torque required. At the same time, it decreases seal wear and improves stability under high pressures.


The two-piece body, full bore design, and flanged or weld-end process connections, the TOP-ENTRY Series has the notable for allowing access to the valve cavity by removing the bonnet without extracting the valve from the line.


These features make this valve ideal for processes that require long-term reliable performance. Easy for maintenance, it also allows pigging operations in cleaning systems.

Due of versatility, the TRUNNION Ball Valve easily adapts to environments with to thermal variations, corrosion, and other hard conditions. The robust construction allows to be used in transportation and distribution systems such as:


» Oil and gas;
» Petrochemical facilities;
» Power plants;
» Cogeneration units;
» Pulp and paper industry;
» Water, air, and steam circuits;
» Industrial gases;
» Various chemical fluids.

In addition, the valve cover a wide range of applications, offering the following advantages:

» Easy operation: opens and closes with low torque operation, even in high-pressure systems.
» Long-lasting durability: remains fully functional over the years.
» Lower risk of leakage: effective sealing helps to prevent fluid losses and system problems.
» Compatibility with heavy environments: performs well even under extreme temperatures or with corrosive fluids.
» Adaptability across sectors: suitable for use in various industries.
» Simple maintenance: its design allows for quick interventions without dismantling the entire pipeline.
» Reduced long-term costs: its durability and reliability help the cut down on frequent repairs or replacements.

The Trunnion Top-Entry Ball Valve offers the perfect combination of robustness, safety, and efficiency, making it the ideal solution for industrial fluid control.
