Silo overfill protection valves
When abnormal pressure threatens your silo’s integrity, reliable pressure relief becomes critical. Designed for instant reaction, these spring-loaded valves ensure controlled venting, safeguarding your operations seamlessly.
The Spring-Loaded Pressure Relief Valves VCP from WAMGROUP are engineered to provide critical safety regulation and pressure balancing in silos. They feature a unique design with a cylindrical casing and disc-shaped inner lid controlled by spring rods, ensuring efficient venting and protection against overpressure or vacuum conditions. Ideal for diverse applications like ready-mix concrete and food processing, these valves operate continuously, manually balancing pressure to protect structural integrity. With a flow rate of up to 13,000 m³/h, they are available in painted carbon steel or 304 stainless steel. Notably, they comply with European Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 for food industry applications, offer ATEX-certified options, and integrate mechanical setups for inductive sensor signaling. Easy fitment and quick maintenance make them a reliable choice for industries ranging from construction to chemicals, with customization available for specific operational needs.
