Ball Segment Valves offer an unobstructed cross section when open. Free material flow is the result. Viewed from the top, no other free-flow valve offers any more compact overall dimensions. To intercept material flow from bins, hoppers, silos, processing machines, or pneumatic conveying of materials showing poor flowability, the use of a VSS Ball Segment Valve may be the most appropriate choice. VSS Ball Segment Valves can be used in virtually all industries.

VSS-type Ball Segment Valves consist of a carbon or stainless steel casing lined with SINT engineering polymer which acts as a seal. Due to the combination of seal and smooth finishing of the closing segment, which is manufactured from SINT polymer too, the valve is perfectly dust-proof. The closing segment is adjustable in height to re-establish its sealing efficiency after longer operating periods.

Unlike butterfly valves, Ball Segment Valves offer an unobstructed cross section when open. Free material flow is the result. Viewed from the top, no other free-flow valve offers any more compact overall dimensions.
