Product catalog summary
Description: VFS Butterfly Valves are designed for use in flour mills to intercept gravity-fed or pneumatically conveyed dry materials. They are typically installed beneath hoppers, bins, silos, and conveyors, or used to intercept pneumatic conveying ducts. The valves are made from high-pressure die-cast aluminum alloy with a stainless steel or cast iron swivel disc and an elastomer or integral seal.
Applications: These valves are widely used in storage, transport, and processing lines for powders or granular materials. They have transitioned from custom-built items to mass-produced products, offering versatile use.
Function: VFS Butterfly Valves provide a cost-effective and efficient solution for closing bins, hoppers, and silos. They ensure no contamination due to their metal steel disc and NBR white seal, are dust-tight, and suitable for various materials.
Benefits: Key benefits include ATEX zone 22 certification for safety, quick integration into processes, modular design for easy maintenance, and high flexibility with interchangeable components.
Technical Features / Performance: The V1FS model features a top flange and beaded bottom section for flexible sleeve attachment, while the V2FS model has identical top and bottom flanges. Both models support sizes from 100 to 400 mm and are pressure-proof up to 0.2 bar with a maximum temperature of 100°C. The disc is available in FDA-approved SINT® engineering polymer or stainless steel, with interchangeable discs and white seals for standard or no contact applications.
Dimensions: Detailed dimensions are provided for both V1FS and V2FS models, including specifications for external grooves, drilling, and other critical measurements.

Flour Milling-1

Flour Milling VFS Butterfly Valves Description VFS Butterfly Valves consist of two high-pressure die-cast semi-bodies manufactured from aluminium alloy, a swivel disc in stainless steel or cast iron, and a pre-stressed elastomer seal or an integral seal. While V1FS has a top flange and a beaded bottom section suitable for the attachment of a flexible sleeve, the V2FS comes with an identical top and bottom flange. Applications VFS Butterfly Valves are used in all types of flour mills where interception of gravity-fed or pneumatically conveyed dry materials is required. Typical applications are storage, transport and processing lines. They are fitted beneath hoppers, bins, silos, screw or other type conveyors, or to intercept pneumatic conveying ducts. Due to their special design and to the engineering materials used, they represent a particularly cost-effective yet most efficient solution. No contamination due to metal steel disc and NBR white seal; Dust-tight thanks to components geometry; Suitable for different materials in the same configuration; Safety for OEM and end user thanks to ATEX zone 22 certification; Quick integration into the process; Modular design and easy maintenance thanks to small numbers of components; High flexibility thanks to interchangeable components. For closing bins, hoppers and silos containing powders or granular materials, VFS Butterfly Valves are among the most widely used equipment worldwide. What used to be custom-built items for specific applications, have been turned by WAM® into a mass-produced industrial product with features that allow extremely versatile use.
