The Compact, Economic Alternative to Traditional Gate Valves

The key element of the 20.3 VATTERFLY Valves is the special VATterfly technology. The VATTERFLY closing mechanism operates significantly differently to conventional butterfly technology. During the closing cycle, the plate is moving without any contact with the valve body, avoiding any risk of activating potential particles, e.g. particles that have accumulated from gas by-products. It can also be mechanically locked in the open and closed positions similar to a gate valve for additional safety.     

These features make the 20.3 especially suitable for isolation requirements in contaminating and aggressive processes. Tested in thousands of demanding applications under various process conditions the 20.3/20.4 series has proven its outstanding reliability.


VAT 20.3 VATTERFLY Valve - Closed
Closed

The 20.3 VATTERFLY Valves are available in a compact standard body version (20.3) in which the plate rotation is covered by an extended body on the downstream side.

The valves are available in sizes DN 63 – 200mm (2½” – 8”) with valve bodies in stainless steel or aluminum. Both versions come with either ISO-KF or CF-F flanges as standard but other flanges can be supplied. The actuation is double-acting pneumatic with a 24 VDC solenoid valve although other voltages can be specified.
