QUADAX®
BUTTERFLY VALVES
FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
Thanks to four offset construction and state of the
art manufacturing technology, Quadax® valves offer
100% compliance even with the highest tightness
requirements. The innovative design principle means
that even extreme temperatures of –270°C to
+800°C are easy to handle.
The Quadax® butterfly valve is the optimum solution
for demanding customers with the highest tightness
requirements in the most extreme applications and
temperature ranges.
We produce the Quadax® butterfly valves from the
highest quality materials and on modern 5-axis
machining centres at our location in Germany.

THE DESIGN PRINCIPLE
CENTRIC BUTTERFLY VALVE
The turning point is in the centre of the seat and
in the centre of the pipe.
→ Only elastomer seals are possible.
SINGLE OFFSET BUTTERFLY VALVE
The turning point of the disc is offset along the
direction of the pipe.
→ 100 % friction between seat and seal
→ Increased torque and wear
DOUBLE OFFSET BUTTERFLY VALVE
The turning point of the disc is also offset from
the centre of the pipe towards the outer edge.
→ Approx. 30 % friction between seat and seal
TRIPLE OFFSET BUTTERFLY VALVE
The seat has a conical shape. The tip of the cone
is offset from the centre of the pipe towards the
outer edge. A circular cone results in an elliptical
narrow seat in the valve body.
→ Approx. 2-5 % friction between seat and seal
FOUR OFFSET BUTTERFLY VALVE
On the four offset butterfly valve, the output cone
used is elliptical. The section under a particular
angle results in a circular and therefore larger
sealing area.
→ Friction free
→ Higher Kv value
→ Highest tightness
(even under extreme conditions)
