The special geometry of new “Slim” VIB Slide Valves and the various options in blade design enable their ap-
plication in virtually all industries including Food processing. For the food industry it is available a version with
stainless steel blade and frame and FOOD approved seal is available.

Important
The terms ³equipment´ and ³valve´ used in this manual refer to the same machine.
As components meant for installation in a plant, the valves - not fully provided with safety means -
have to be considered ³partly completed machinery´. Therefore, they do not bear an EC marking.
It is forbidden to start the valve unless the machine/plant in which it is to be installed has been de-
clared compliant with the Directive 2006/42/EC and further modi¿cations.
