Vmax Explosion Vent

Specifically designed for sanitary applications with vacuum service, the Vmax is a single element, lightweight explosion vent. This multi-domed, high performance explosion vent has excellent service life, is vacuum rated and provides stable performance over a wide range of temperatures. The Vmax explosion vent has superior dynamic performance during explosions and provides faster response than other devices due to its lower mass per unit area. The integral gasket/seal will allow the vent to be mounted on most equipment without additional sealants.
