Technical data for rotary valve type VPS

The drop through rotary valve type “VPS” has been studied and manufactured for the feeding and unloading of any kind of product in grains or powder. It is used in pneumatic conveying lines, mounted under a cyclone or at the fi lter exhaust. Manufactured in cast iron, nickel / chromium plated cast iron or stainless steel AISI316.

Thanks to its low tolerances and several type of rotors, it can fit any type of product or special requirement of the customer. The valve is available with gearmotor or chain drive with chain guard according to CE rules.

Technical data for rotary valve type VPR

The drop through rotary valve type “VPR” is born like a synthesis of the “VPS” valves /having the same body) and the “RS”. It is particularly suitable for the feeding and pneumatic conveying of products in grain and powder and it can be used in all industrial sectors involving pneumatic conveying lines with average / low pressure.

For the particular construction and the minimum tolerances, it ensures excellent airlock and good fl owing of the product. The characteristic circular fl ange allows an easy interlock with feeding bins. Manufactured in cast iron, nickel / chromium plated cast iron or stainless steel AISI316, it is supplied with bare shaft or motorization consisting in variable speed gearmotor or gearmotor and complete drive with chain guard according to CE rules.

Technical data for rotary valve type UPR

The "UPR" rotary valve is particularly suitable for the dosing and pneumatic transportation of granular, flaky or ground products. Thanks to its sturdy construction and flanging unified according to UNI PN10 standards (DIN 2576 ND10) or ANSII50 standards it is particularly suitable for use in both heavy industry and in the chemical and plastic industrial fields.

The special confirmation of the entrance inlet and a series of other technical adaptations reduce the risk of the pinching of the product between the blade and stator in cases in which particularly different products need to be discharged. The external bearing slots and the packing PTFE packing gland sealing system, provide further guarantees of rational performance and also make it possible to use the valve at high temperatures.
