Coperion's new Universal Slide Gate Valve FFU is designed for optimal performance and reliability.

Slide Gate Valve for Granular Products and Powders

The newly developed Universal Slide Valve FFU is a smart and reliable solution for managing the safe and controlled flow of bulk materials – straight from storage bins and hoppers to downstream processes. Designed for a wide range of applications, the FFU stands out with its compact yet exceptionally robust construction, making it particularly well-suited for demanding environments such as the chemical and plastics industries.

One of the valve’s key advantages is its ability to close securely not only during ongoing material flow but also when the product column is stationary. This unique capability makes it ideal for high-demand processes. Behind this performance lies a carefully engineered design, featuring intelligent geometry and an advanced sealing system that ensures consistent, reliable operation.

Available in sizes from DN 150 to DN 400, the FFU can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements, including configurations for use in explosion-prone (ATEX) environments.

Take advantage of Coperion’s decades of expertise in bulk material handling and plant engineering – invest in a versatile, cost-effective discharge solution that’s built to perform.
