About Series VMX 4-Way Mixing & Diverting Valves
Series VMX 4-Way Mixing & Diverting Valves
| MAIN AND OPERATNG CHARACTERISTICS : This type of valve is used in central heating system to ensure a hot return to the boiler and consequently to prevent vapor condensation in the same boiler, or to devide the thermic-load in the ambients. MUT valve are supplied with manual control but can be easily and simply motorized at any time using MUT motors V series and/or motors commonly found in commerce. MUT valve are made with cast-iron bodies and internal rotor. Rotor rotation angel uses for the regulation, is about 90°, correspondent to the sequence from 0 to 10 on the reference tally (as there is no end-run it can rotate 360°). |

Robust and Versatile DesignThe VMX 4-Way Mixing & Diverting Valves are constructed from durable materials such as CI, WCB, SS304, and SS316. Designed to perform in challenging environments, their low-torque operation and precise machining ensure optimal performance in both mixing and diverting roles.
Flexible Control and Actuation OptionsThese valves can be operated using electric, pneumatic, or manual gear actuators, accommodating a wide range of system requirements. They support both manual and actuated control, making them suitable for highly automated processes or simple manual interventions.
Superior Sealing and Leakage PreventionWith EPDM or PTFE seat options and leakage classes IV or VI, the VMX series maintains reliable sealing under demanding media pressures up to PN16. This helps prevent fluid loss, reduces maintenance frequency, and extends valve life.
FAQs of Series VMX 4-Way Mixing & Diverting Valves:
Q: How do Series VMX 4-Way Mixing & Diverting Valves enhance mixing and diverting applications?
A: The Series VMX valves are engineered for precise control of hot or chilled water, glycol solutions, and other compatible fluids. Their 4-way design enables efficient mixing or diverting of flows, ideal for HVAC, process control, and industrial applications. Linear or equal percentage flow characteristics allow for accurate modulation and system optimization.
Q: What mounting orientations are suitable for the VMX valve installation?
A: These valves can be installed in any mounting position, thanks to their robust build and flexible actuation design. This versatile installation capability simplifies system layouts, even in restricted spaces or unconventional setups.
Q: When should I choose class IV or VI seat leakage options?
A: Class IV seat leakage is suitable for general applications where some minor leakage can be tolerated, while class VI is preferred in high-precision or safety-critical systems requiring near-tight shut-off. Select based on your process requirements for leakage control.
Q: Where can the VMX series be applied in industrial or commercial systems?
A: These valves are ideal for use in HVAC systems, process control settings, and power plant applications where mixing or diverting hot or chilled water, glycol solutions, or other compatible fluids is necessary. Their wide pressure tolerance and robust materials ensure compatibility with diverse environments.
Q: What actuator options are available for these valves, and how are they powered?
A: Actuators available include electric, pneumatic, and manual gears. When choosing electric actuators, they can be powered by 24V AC/DC or 230V AC, providing flexibility for automation and control integration within different electrical systems.
Q: How easy is field maintenance for the VMX valves?
A: VMX valves are designed to be field serviceable, meaning routine maintenance, sealing changes, and actuator adjustments can be performed on-site without requiring specialized tools, thus reducing system downtime.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing a VMX rotary plug valve with flexible actuation adaptability?
A: Flexible actuation allows seamless integration with manual, pneumatic, or electric controls, ensuring the valve can adapt to changing system demands, future automation upgrades, or operator preferences. This future-proofs your investment and supports efficient process control.
