Fit-frame butterfly valves for dry bulk solids
Achieve precise control and minimize contamination in your dry bulk material processes with these butterfly valves, designed for efficient flow management and exceptional sealing in food, feed, and industrial applications.
Intercepts and Manages Bulk Solids Flow
The VFP-VFPX Fit-Frame Butterfly Valves from WAMGROUP are engineered to optimize bulk solids handling by reducing material residue and contamination. These valves feature a unique design with high-pressure die-cast aluminum alloy bodies and a SINT engineering polymer or stainless steel disc, ensuring durability and abrasion resistance. Ideal for applications in flour milling, food processing, and plastics, they support seamless integration into processing lines beneath hoppers, silos, and conveyors, efficiently managing flow interception for powders and granules. VFP-VFPX valves are compliant with EC 1935/2004, suitable for food contact, and offer options for ATEX zone certification. Their compact design simplifies installation, while the interchangeable discs allow quick maintenance, maintaining high efficiency in operations.
