KRAFT Slide Valves
KRAFT slide valves from Germany shut off and dose bulk solids under silos, hoppers and in pipelines; sizes DN 80 to DN 800, with versions pressure-tight to 5 bar and rated to 270 °C.

Product Overview
KRAFT slide valves use a flat plate that slides across the flow to shut off bulk solids; the 450 F-DK also handles liquids and gases. They have a low installation height and come in wafer or lug versions.
The 430 DBS and 440 DBS E have two counter-moving half-moon plates that open an elliptical outlet, for dosing bulk solids from a 4–20 mA or 0–1 bar control signal.
