Control Valves

A control valve is a critical component used to regulate process variables such as flow rate, pressure, and temperature within industrial processes. By automatically adjusting the valve position in response to signals from sensors and controllers, control valves help maintain stable fluid behavior throughout piping systems. As a result, control valves play a vital role in ensuring product quality, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing operational safety across a wide range of industries.

The History and Evolution of Azbil Control Valves

Azbil control valves have evolved alongside our customers' needs. Explore the journey of technological innovation across six generations of control valve development.

Discontinued Models : Generations 1 to 3

The 1st through 3rd generation control valves have already been discontinued, and the supply of spare parts has also ended. For customers currently using these legacy products, we strongly recommend upgrading to the 4th generation or later models to ensure stable operation and long-term maintenance support.*

*Please note that some installed products may have been manufactured with special specifications. As a result, equivalent functionality may not be fully available with the recommended replacement model.To determine whether an upgrade is feasible and to identify the most suitable replacement, we kindly ask that you provide the serial number of the existing product.

4th Generation: CV3000 Series

The CV3000 Series control valves are built on the proven performance of previous generations and feature approximately 30% higher Cv capacity along with optimized flow characteristics, enabling more accurate and stable process control.In addition, the adoption of the compact and lightweight HA actuator reduces overall valve weight by approximately 30%.Offering excellent controllability, energy efficiency, and maintainability, the CV3000 Series is a high-quality range of control valves designed to meet the increasingly sophisticated requirements of users.

5th Generation : CV3000 AlphaPlus

CV3000 AlphaPlus is the 5th-generation control valve series, developed based on the extensive expertise and proven track record of the CV3000 family. Designed with a focus on compactness and high performance, it achieves a 40% reduction in size and weight compared with previous models.The series also delivers a 30% increase in Cv capacity and offers a standard rangeability of 50:1, providing superior control performance across a wide operating range.With its compact design, enhanced controllability, and improved process efficiency, the CV3000 AlphaPlus meets the evolving needs of modern process industries.

6th Generation : 6000 Series

The Control Valve 6000 Series is a next-generation control valve developed to meet the evolving needs of modern production facilities.Through flow-path optimization based on advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, the series achieves high rated Cv capacity, wide rangeability, reduced installation space requirements, and improved maintainability.By enhancing both operational performance and lifecycle efficiency, the Control Valve 6000 Series helps increase productivity throughout the entire lifecycle of plant assets.
