Low profile slide valve for controlling powder flow
In industries such as food processing and chemicals, precise control over the flow of powders or granular materials is essential. Problems arise when conventional valves are unable to prevent contamination or handle abrasive materials, leading to frequent maintenance and downtime.
Control powder flow with minimal contamination
The Low Profile Slide Valve VIB-VIBX from WAMGROUP is designed for the efficient interception of dry powders and granular materials in gravity or conveying applications. Made from high-pressure die-cast aluminum alloy, the valve features a sliding blade and frame available in carbon or stainless steel. The unique SINT engineering polymer seal is highly abrasion-resistant and replaceable, ensuring long service life. The valve’s geometry reduces residue and contamination, making it ideal for applications demanding high hygiene standards. Additionally, it is compatible with WAM and CEMA flanges for easy installation. Options include ATEX versions for explosive environments and a food-grade version compliant with Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004. Standard sizes range from 150 to 400 mm.
Benefits
- No contamination due to advanced seal design
- Highly abrasion-resistant for extended service life
