MARS Valvenok supports both single-valve requirements and complete project supply. When you approach the team with an actuated ball valve enquiry, you can expect a structured, engineering-led process:
1. Application review — the team will clarify process medium, pressure, temperature, required shut-off performance, end connections, line size, and whether fire-safe or specialist certification is required.
2. Valve body and trim selection — based on your data, a suitable MARS body configuration is recommended, typically from the industrial ball valves range:
Two-piece or three-piece body designs.
Flanged or threaded end connections.
CF8M, CF3M, SS316/316L and other corrosion-resistant materials.
Options for high pressure ball valves and fire-safe construction where required.
3. Seat and seal configuration — seat material (PTFE, RTFE, and other engineered options on specific series) is selected to match chemical compatibility, temperature, and cycling demands. Fire-safe configurations use soft seats with secondary metal sealing, as detailed in the fire-safe ranges.
4. Actuator sizing and type — torque requirements, safety factors, operating speed, and available utilities are used to select between:
Electric actuators (for locations with power and remote signalling requirements).
Pneumatic rack-and-pinion actuators (using compressed air for fast, reliable stroking).
Spring-return configurations for fail-open or fail-closed safety positions.
These are drawn from the dedicated valve actuators range, including pneumatic valve actuators suitable for on/off and simple modulating duty.
5. Automation and control interface — for integration into a wider control system or PLC, packages can incorporate:
Limit switch boxes for open/closed position feedback.
Solenoid valves for air control in pneumatic valve actuation systems.
Compatible accessories such as a digital valve positioner where a ball valve forms part of a wider process control valve strategy.
6. Documentation and traceability — each genuine MARS actuated ball valve package is supplied with manufacturer documentation and traceability. Certification and test records can be provided to support project dossiers and compliance submissions.
Throughout, the focus is on specifying to the level the application demands, not to the lowest available cost or minimal standard.
For sites with stable electrical power and supervisory control systems, a motorised ball valve package using an electric actuator offers precise, repeatable operation with straightforward integration.
Electric actuated solutions from the MARS portfolio are suited to:
Remote isolation where manual access is restricted.
Automated sequencing in process skids and OEM machinery.
Applications where on/off duty is combined with status feedback to the control room.
Environments where compressed air is limited and electric actuation is preferred.
Electric actuators in these assemblies commonly feature:
Robust housing for industrial environments.
Manual override capability for local operation.
Clear visual position indication.
Compatibility with direct-mount ISO 5211 pads on selected fire-safe and flanged ball valves.
Where compressed air is available, a pneumatic operated ball valve remains a highly reliable, compact solution for safety and process applications. MARS pneumatic actuated valves use rack-and-pinion designs in double-acting or spring-return configurations.
Advantages include:
Fast stroking speeds for emergency isolation duty.
Simple, robust construction with low maintenance needs.
Easy integration of solenoid valves and limit switches.
Suitability for hazardous-area locations when paired with appropriately specified control equipment.
Pneumatic packages can be built around fire-safe, flanged, or high-pressure valve bodies, aligned with the same API 607 and ISO 10497 tested ranges used across the MARS fire-safe portfolio.
Actuated valve assemblies from MARS are engineered for:
Hazardous and refining lines — fire-safe ball valves with secondary metal sealing and anti-static devices help control leakage during fire scenarios.
Corrosive chemical service — CF8M, CF3M, SS316/316L and optional alloy bodies, combined with carefully selected seat materials and, where appropriate, corrosion resistant valves.
High-pressure operation — heavy-duty high pressure valve designs with tight shut-off for critical isolation.
Industrial gas and power generation — repeatable operation, tight tolerance machining, and comprehensive testing for plant-wide reliability.
Water, marine, and general industry — rugged construction and straightforward maintenance help minimise downtime.
Across these sectors, the combination of engineered valve body, correctly sized actuator, and complete accessory set is treated as a single, integrated solution rather than a collection of unmatched components.

An actuated ball valve is a ball valve operated by an electric or pneumatic actuator instead of a manual handle. The actuator rotates the ball to open or close the flow, allowing remote, automated, or safety-critical control in process and industrial systems.
In the UK and internationally, MARS actuated ball valves are used across oil and gas, chemical processing, petrochemical, power generation, water treatment, marine and shipbuilding, industrial gas, OEM machinery, and general industry where reliable automated isolation is required.
Selection typically depends on available utilities, response time, and safety requirements. Electric actuators suit locations with reliable power and control wiring. Pneumatic operated ball valve packages are preferred where compressed air is available, fast operation is needed, or fail-safe spring-return action is part of the safety design. The MARS Valvenok team will review your application and recommend a suitable configuration.
Yes. Fire-safe ball valve series from the MARS range are tested to API 607 and, on specific models such as Series 88, also to ISO 10497. These can be combined with suitable actuators and accessories to create complete actuated fire-safe assemblies for UK and international projects, subject to correct application specification.
Genuine MARS actuated valve packages are supplied with manufacturer documentation, certification references for the underlying valve series, and traceability information. This supports project quality dossiers, regulatory submissions, and internal standards compliance.
