WAM VDC Series Double Dump Valve

The WAM VDC Series Double Dump Valve is engineered for the controlled discharge of powdery or granular materials from silos, hoppers, or other storage containers. It is widely used in various industries, including cement processing, to ensure efficient handling and precise material flow.

Key Features and Functions:

• Double Dump Design: The valve features a unique double dump design with two chambers or "dumps" that operate sequentially, allowing for a controlled and metered discharge of material. This design ensures reliable material handling without overflows or spillage.

• Airlock Function: The double dump design effectively provides an airlock, preventing air leakage between different pressure zones in the system, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of pressurized systems.

• Controlled Material Discharge: The valve regulates the flow of materials, ensuring a consistent and metered discharge rate. This feature is important for processes that require precise material flow, such as batching and mixing.

• Robust Construction: Built with durable materials, the VDC valve is designed to withstand abrasive materials and harsh industrial environments, ensuring long-lasting performance.

• Various Sizes and Configurations: Available in multiple sizes and configurations to accommodate different flow rates and application requirements, providing flexibility for a wide range of applications.

• Motor Driven: The valve’s operation is driven by an electric motor, ensuring reliable and consistent performance with minimal maintenance.

Applications:

• Material Discharge: The VDC valve is primarily used for the controlled discharge of cement, lime, fly ash, and other powdery or granular materials from storage silos, hoppers, or bins.

• Feeding into Conveying Systems: It is commonly used to feed materials into screw conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems, or other transport equipment, ensuring a smooth and consistent flow.

• Airlock in Pneumatic Conveying: When used in pneumatic conveying systems, the VDC valve acts as an airlock, helping to maintain pressure differentials and preventing the leakage of materials during transport.

Specific Relevance to Cement Silo Processing:

• Silo Discharge Control: The VDC valve ensures controlled and accurate discharge of cement from silos, preventing material spills and enabling consistent material flow into other systems.

• Feeding into Conveying Systems: It efficiently feeds cement into screw conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems, or other material handling equipment, ensuring smooth and continuous operation in the cement production process.

• Airlock in Pneumatic Conveying: When installed in pneumatic conveying systems, the VDC valve maintains pressure differentials, preventing air and material leakage, which helps in efficient transportation of cement.

• Batching Accuracy: By providing a controlled discharge rate, the VDC valve contributes to more accurate weighing and batching, improving the quality and consistency of the final product.

• Material Handling Efficiency: The valve enhances overall material handling efficiency by maintaining a reliable and controlled flow of cement, reducing waste and increasing operational uptime.
