VFP/VFPX Butterfly Valves can be fitted beneath hoppers, bins, silos, screw or other type conveyors, or to intercept pneumatic conveying ducts. Due to their special design material residue between valve and the connected feeding device is drastically reduced. This line of valves is compliant with Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

VFP Butterfly Valves consist of two high-pressure die-cast semi-bodies manufactured from aluminium alloy, a swivel disc in SINT engineering polymer, stainless steel cast iron, and a pre-stressed elastomeric seal.

For food applications a version with stainless steel disc and integral FDA-approved seal is available.

VFP Butterfly Valve can be used for any kind of powder or granular material stored in silos or containers.

VFP Butterfly Valves are used in all types of bulk solids processing plants where interception of gravity-fed or pneumatically conveyed dry powders or granules is required. VFP Butterfly Valves can be fitted beneath hoppers, bins, silos, screw or other type conveyors, or for material interception in pneumatic conveying ducts. Due to their special design and to the engineering materials used, they represent a particularly economic yet most efficient solution in all product processing where contamination and material pollution represent a critical point.
