Silo Pressure Relief Valves

Filquip has been specifying and supplying Silo pressure relief valves for over 20 years for all types of powders and granular materials.

The WAM VHS and VCP Silo Pressure relief valves provide a safety net when abnormal pressure conditions endanger the silo structure. With hundreds of thousands installed worldwide, WAM Pressure Relief Valves are the standardised reliable solution for almost any silo application.

We have a number of helpful Filquip Videos on this page to explain the operation, setting up and maintenance of our Silo Pressure Relief Valve Range.
