ULVAC's VFR series Large Pendulum Valve (gate valve) offers a compact design with unique technology. Applications include OLED, PV,Glass, FPD, and other manufacturing systems.

Features

  • Due to ULVAC's unique differential pressure mechanism the ULVAC VFR pendulum valve minimizes particles, valve wear, and vibration during normal operating conditions.
  • The valve casing is easily removed without removing the valve from vacuum system or pump. After removing the valve casing, the valve plate can be removed only picking a bolt, and the the valve is readily maintained.
  • The ULVAC VFR series valves can be installed anywhere in vacuum system. Free rotation and installment angle is flexible (360-degrees).

Applications

  • Large display manufacturing systems
  • OLED manufacturing systems
  • Other vacuum systems as main valve and gate valve
