Overview

This document details the technical specifications, actuator compatibility, and operational guidelines for WAM S.p.A.'s VG series Slide Valves, designed for controlling the flow of powders and granules in heavy-duty industrial environments.

Product Description

The VG series slide valves feature a double-sealed blade design to enhance valve protection and minimize wear. All valves are powder-coated in silver-grey (RAL 7001) to ensure durability and corrosion resistance.

Valve Types and Actuation Options

• VG Series: Available with hand wheel, pneumatic, or electric actuators.
• VGR Series: Rectangular guillotine-style slide valves with manual lever, gear motor, or electropneumatic actuators.
• VGM Series: Manual push slide valves.

Compatible actuators include manual hand wheels, gear motors (CMV4, CMV6), pneumatic cylinders compliant with ISO 6431 and VDMA 24562 standards, and electropneumatic actuators. Position signaling systems are mandatory for safe operation and monitoring.

Technical Specifications and Dimensions

Detailed dimensional data is provided for various valve models, including parameters such as height (A), width (CB), bolt sizes (typically M10 or M12), and weights ranging from approximately 23 kg to 240 kg. Examples include:

• VGR 0150 to VGR 0200: Dimensions A = 346-423 mm, CB = 538-638 mm, weight approx. 23-30 kg.
• VG 0500 to VG 0600: Dimensions A = 450-525 mm, CB = 550-625 mm, weight approx. 104-128 kg.

Standardized cylinder interfaces ensure compatibility with pneumatic actuators.

Materials and Coating

Valves are constructed with robust materials suitable for heavy industrial use and finished with a powder coating (RAL 7001) to resist dust and environmental degradation.

Standards and Certifications

• Quality management certified under UNI EN ISO 9001-2000.
• Pneumatic cylinders and actuators comply with ISO 6431 and VDMA 24562 standards.
• CE marking applies to relevant components.

Installation and Operation Recommendations

• Position signaling systems are mandatory for safe valve operation and position monitoring.
• Actuator selection should be based on application needs: manual, pneumatic, or electric options are available.
• Compatibility with specified actuator models (manual, gear motor, pneumatic, electropneumatic) must be ensured.

Actuator Compatibility

• Manual actuators: CMV4, CMV6.
• Gear motor actuators: CMV4, CMV6.
• Pneumatic actuators: AR070A21 LSM6 and variants.
• Electropneumatic actuators: KCP100C, KCP100I, KCP125C, KCP125I, V5V40-LSM6, V5V80-LSM4, V5V80-LSM6.

Note: Some actuators are third-party products (non-WAM®) and must be sourced separately.

Electrical Specifications

Electropneumatic actuators support both DC and AC power supplies.

Additional Notes

• Technical specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
• Multilingual descriptions emphasize the valves’ dust-tight design and suitability for powders and granules.
