Description
The Vacuum Valve is an industrial safety valve engineered to prevent vacuum formation within processing systems, storage tanks, and pipelines. By automatically allowing controlled air intake when internal pressure drops below safe limits, the valve protects equipment from structural deformation and operational failure.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, vacuum valves are widely used in hygienic industries where pressure balance is critical. Their automatic response mechanism ensures system stability during cooling, draining, or cleaning operations, maintaining safe and efficient processing conditions.
