Paddle Wheel Valves – VFD
The VFD Paddle Wheel Valve made of aluminum-alloy, stainless-steel and NBR components, offers optimal balance of quality, ease of maintenance, safety, environmental compliance and cost effectiveness to meet market demands.

Based on extensive experience in the design and manufacture of equipment for bulk solids handling, WAM® VALVES now offers an innovative Paddle Wheel Valve designed to precisely control the flow of dry powders, pellets, flakes, or granules, whether they are gravity-fed or mechanically conveyed.
The VFD Paddle Wheel Valve can be installed beneath hoppers, FIBC dischargers, screw conveyors, or other types of mechanical feeders or conveyors. The height of the valve has been minimised, reducing the amount of residual material left between the valve and the feeding device. This valve range has been developed to meet current standards.
