VL Series
With the optimized lug design of our VL Series, we give you the best of both worlds. It unites cost-saving design and the highest possible performance. Made of stainless steel as standard, it is often used in corrosive applications and, thanks to its 100% bidirectional bubble-tight shut off, offers the best possible customer confidence and satisfaction.

Face to face dimension
-
A unique transverse seal, consisting of a transverse seal profile and packing compound, makes the body bubble-tight towards the atmosphere.
-
The transverse seal can be repacked at any time and under full pressure using the lateral packing screws.
-
Robust 4-post topwork for maximum load and a wide variety of actuator types.
-
With its optimized gate geometry, accumulated media is pushed out of the gate guide and flushed out into the bore by the increased flow.
-
In the closed end position, the gate is also mechanically supported.

Precision in stainless steel
Our knife gate valves of the VL series are often used in corrosive applications such as the chemical and food industries. Manufactured from stainless steel as standard, the valves with ANSI flange can withstand even the toughest conditions. These 15 valves are equipped with manual actuators at the Wey plant in the USA and then installed in various systems.

Valve with non-stick surface
For an Australian phosphate mine, the body and gate of this knife gate valve from the VL series were coated with PTFE. The coating reduces friction and prevents the substances contained in the mine water from sticking to the valve. For additional corrosion protection, the body is made of particularly resistant stainless steel.
