The valves can be used individually or, as outlined here, in EBRO cycle locks.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, operators and plant engineers can rely on a device that meets no fewer than three important criteria for systems with corresponding requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Type testing for ATEX up to zones 0 and 20, approval in IECEx\u2022<\/li>\n<li>Deployment also possible with active substances; can be cleaned when completely closed against the external atmosphere<\/li>\n<li>Type testing as an explosion-decoupled safety system at performance level \u201aD\u2018 with a test pressure of &gt; 15.4 bar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ViDos\u00ae valves are based on proven standard valves with an elastomer or PTFE liner.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the classic task of controlling or regulating the product flow, this valve is also used as a metering device for bulk solids. For this purpose, a linear vibrator whose pulses are conducted directly into the valve disc is integrated within the valve. In this context, product flow is set in motion and maintained by means of the disc\u2018s vibration. Bridging is effectively prevented, while the even rate of discharge enables high repeatability.<\/p>\n<p>The volumetric flow can be easily throttled without running the risk of product flow coming to a halt. In this case, it must be ensured that alveolar fractions of the dosed products are unable to escape to the outside during either ongoing operation or maintenance and cleaning work.<\/p>\n<p>This vastly simplifies directly loading scales or containers positioned on load cells. The valve is first opened completely in order to feed in the majority of the desired quantity as quickly as possible.<br \/>\nShortly before the desired quantity has been achieved, the valve is closed partially and the vibration kicks in. The remaining quantity can now be infed in fine flow. The valve then securely seals the container.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1b3n14l-5227b21909f05cea44d202ce742a91be av_one_third  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mcd3tgbx-94cd64dc72e9e6140aac0f4bfc48508e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mcd3tgbx-94cd64dc72e9e6140aac0f4bfc48508e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mcd3tgbx-94cd64dc72e9e6140aac0f4bfc48508e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mcd3tgbx-94cd64dc72e9e6140aac0f4bfc48508e av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-15  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-23681 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-23681 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.ebro-armaturen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CaseStudy_BulkSolids_Containment_2024-12_Ext_DE.png\" alt='' title='CaseStudy_BulkSolids_Containment_2024-12_Ext_DE'  height=\"348\" width=\"1352\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ebro-armaturen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CaseStudy_BulkSolids_Containment_2024-12_Ext_DE.png 1352w, https:\/\/www.ebro-armaturen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CaseStudy_BulkSolids_Containment_2024-12_Ext_DE-1030x265.png 1030w, https:\/\/www.ebro-armaturen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CaseStudy_BulkSolids_Containment_2024-12_Ext_DE-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ebro-armaturen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CaseStudy_BulkSolids_Containment_2024-12_Ext_DE-705x181.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1352px) 100vw, 1352px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mcd3ttx6-c679c3af66a7689a58a6a3e3ff0d466d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The vibrating dosing valve undertakes metering tasks<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-ncza8l-6614188c0757d632ec0a271290fa34c6 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mcd3jnoq-8a79b5efa10796f755c447ded63d310f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Containment and Sustainability<\/h3>\n<p>However, the encapsulation of products within a production<br \/>\nsystem is by no means a one-way street. lnvitations to tender,<br \/>\nparticularly for the sensitive processes involved in battery cell production, include requirements that also have to rule out the product being adversely affected by potential sources of both external and internal contamination.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, minimising abrasion is a key issue, not only in the pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals industries.

Depending on their requirements, operators and plant engineers have access to a range of suitable discharge and metering systems based on butterfly valves.
