Butterfly valves for powder and granular material handling
Handling bulk materials like powders and granules often requires precise and reliable flow control to prevent leakage and ensure smooth operations. Traditional valves can be insufficiently durable or complicated to maintain, leading to frequent downtime and increased costs.
Controls flow of bulk materials efficiently.
The VFS Butterfly Valve by WAMGROUP is designed for optimal performance in processing plants that handle powders and granular materials. Constructed with high-pressure aluminium alloy semi-bodies, a disc made from SINT polymer composite or cast iron, and a pre-stressed elastomer seal, this valve offers durability and abrasion resistance. The VFS valve is available in models with either a top flange and beaded bottom section, suitable for flexible sleeve attachment (V1FS), or with identical top and bottom flanges (V2FS). It is dust-tight and pressure-proof up to 0.2 bar, making it highly reliable for applications requiring the interception of gravity-fed or pneumatically conveyed dry materials. Its lightweight design and easy-to-replace components further enhance operational efficiency. Suitable for various industries, including food processing where a stainless steel disc and FDA/EN-approved seal are required, VFS valves are an effective and versatile solution.
