Waste Water Treatment

Slide Valves VL

42 Description
VL-type Slide Valves consist of a two-piece carbon or stainless
steel frame, which is partly coated with WAM®’s unique
SINT® engineering polymer composite, and a sliding blade
manufactured either from the same material or from carbon
or stainless steel. The use of SINT® engineering polymer
composites considerably increases resistance to abrasion
compared to traditional valves.

Function
VL Slides Valves are used where flow of a bulk solid or sludge caused by gravity or conveying has to be intercepted. Valves may be fitted
to hopper or silo outlets, to the inlets and outlets of mechanical conveyors or to the inlet of telescopic loading spouts.

Application

Rights reserved to modify technical specifications.

The special geometry of the VL Slide Valves and the different options of
blade design enable their application in virtually all type of powder and
processing plants where interception of gravity-fed or pneumatically con-
veyed dry materials is required. Typical applications are storage, conveying
and processing lines.
They are fitted beneath hoppers, bins, silos, screw or other type conveyors.

DS.810.VL.EN.March 2015.R00
Due to their special design and the engineering polymer materials used,
they represent a particularly cost-effective yet most efficient solution.

Benefits

 No contamination due to metal steel blade and valve frame coated with polymer material;
 Reduced crusting effects due to valve frame coated with low-friction polymer material;
 Dust-tight thanks to component geometry;
 Suitable for different materials in same configuration;
 Easy process integration;
 Time-saving maintenance thanks to small number of components;
 Optimum performance thanks to friction-free contact design (actuator torque is not wasted
to win friction resistance).
