WAMGROUP launched their newly designed, high performance VFP-type Butterfly Valves. The new design is characterised by reduced installation height and weight. Flanges are compliant with international EN2276-67 and ANSI B16.5 standards, thus ensuring high versatility in application.
The most innovative features of the VFP Butterfly Valve are not visible from outside. Following extensive computer simulations, WAMGROUP Research & Development subjected the VFP to numerous laboratory and field tests to ensure optimum, obstacle-free material flow, even with poorly flowing materials. The engineers paid particular attention to avoiding any dead spaces that would allow material to settle. The aim was to offer the market a product that would reliably prevent any kind of material contamination ensuring, at the same time, a high flow rate without any risk of bridging or rat-holing phenomena. Moreover, perfectly sealed valve closure, repeatable over years of operation, had to be guaranteed.
A typical requirement in modern production plants is frequent change of material without the risk of cross chemical or bacteriological contamination. The VFP valve fully meets this requirement by reducing material deposits between upstream and downstream plant equipment to the absolute minimum, thus improving performance and overall quality of the process significantly.
