Low profile slide valve for controlling powder flow

Optimize your powder and granule flow management with precision-engineered, low-profile slide valves, designed to minimize residue and contamination while providing high abrasion resistance and seamless integration into existing systems.

Intercepts and Seals Flow of Bulk Materials

The Low Profile Slide Valves VIB-VIBX from WAMGROUP are engineered for seamless material flow interception in various industries, including food processing, construction, and environmental technology. These valves feature a compact, dustproof design using WAM’s patented SINT engineering polymer, offering high abrasion resistance and minimal contamination risk. They effectively handle bulk materials like flours, granules, and powders during gravity and conveying applications, aiding in the production of end-products such as biscuits, pet food, and rubber tires. With manual, pneumatic, or electric operation options and compatibility with WAM and CEMA flanges, these valves ensure easy integration and quick fitting into existing systems. Additionally, they accommodate various configurations with interchangeable carbon or stainless steel blades, available in sizes ranging from 150 to 400mm. Compliant with ATEX and food-grade standards, they provide a reliable and safe solution for effective flow management across diverse processing environments.

Benefits

  • Enhances production efficiency with quick installation and easy integration into existing systems.
  • Minimizes contamination risk with a compact, dustproof design and abrasion-resistant seals.
  • Reduces maintenance time and costs with a friction-free, wear-compensating seal system.
  • Supports industry-specific compliance with ATEX and food-grade certifications.
  • Offers operational flexibility with manual, pneumatic, and electric actuator options.
