VARIVENT® Shut-off valves
VARIVENT® single-seat valves are used for simple shut-off in hygienic applications. The valves are characterized by their ease of operation and flexibility. To avoid water hammers, individual variants in the VARIVENT® modular system are configured for different flow directions.
- Certified, hygienic configuration
- Metallic stop
- Flexibility because of the modular principle
- Proven seal geometry
| Recommended flow direction |
Feature | Type |
|---|---|---|
| From bottom to top | Modular system | Single-seat valve, type N |
| From bottom to top | Long-stroke valves for viscous products or products with large particles | Single-seat long-stroke valve, type N_V |
| From top to bottom | Modular system | Single-seat valve, type U |
| From top to bottom | With optimized maintenance, radial sealing | Single-seat valve, type U_R |
| From top to bottom | Long-stroke valves for viscous products or products with large particles | Single-seat long-stroke valve, type U_V |
To avoid water hammers when closing the valve while the product is flowing, single-seat shut-off valves should be switched against the flow direction of the product.
Valve type N is designed for a flow from the lower to the upper pipeline, whereas valve type U is for the opposite flow direction.
The structure of the VARIVENT® modular system has many optional versions available to best optimize the valve in the process. Please refer to the options section in the catalog for information about these.
| Sizes | |

In practical use, these valves are used
- as emptying / drainage valves
- for shutting off a bypass line
- as dosing valves
VARIVENT® long-stroke valves are used for transporting fluids with relatively large particles or for viscous products, such as yoghurt with pieces of fruit.
