SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Controlling Backflow
Recoil Check Valve · Manufacturer's Cross-Section View
01 / AT DISCHARGE
Support controlled pump shutdown.
Check valve selection depends on the system's flow rate and deceleration characteristics. The Swing Flex design optimizes effluent passage, while the Recoil valve relies on a short stroke. Alternative configurations allow you to evaluate face-to-face dimensions, seating design, and damping options to meet your exact process requirements.
02 / IN THE FIELD
Isolate a pipeline or channel.
An eccentric plug valve isolates an effluent line. A knife gate valve provides dependable shut-off on a sludge line. In a basin or channel, a slide gate and a stop log ensure streamlined flow control and reliable maintenance operations.
03 / IN-LINE
Providing an engineered exhaust path for air.
Air release and vacuum intake requirements shift during filling, pressurized operation, and draining. Air valves are sized according to pipeline profile and air flow rates. Wastewater configurations specifically account for effluent characteristics.

Several product lines offer Class 125 or Class 150 flanged connections, in addition to EN-standard PN-rated configurations. Selection is determined by flange standard, drilling pattern, face-to-face dimensions, and operating pressure. Providing an existing drawing allows VAMECA to accurately validate the drop-in replacement configuration.
Eccentric plug valves are engineered specifically for effluent isolation. Knife gate valves deliver reliable shut-off performance for demanding sludge lines. Swing Flex check valves feature an unobstructed flow path and convenient top-entry access. For aeration basins and open channels, AVM delivers dependable sluice gates, stop logs, and flap gates.
Yes, potable water is among the manufacturer's core applications, featuring dedicated epoxy coatings and engineered designs tailored for municipal and industrial water networks. VAMECA reviews all wetted materials and verifies the required sanitary certifications and compliance documentation requested by the project owner for the specified reference.
Depending on the product family, AVM provides manual operators, gearboxes, and electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuation. Stem extensions, operating positions, and accessories are selected based on site accessibility, operating torque requirements, and facility automation integration.
Attach your RFQ, drawing, or the part number to be replaced, then specify the media, flow rates, operating pressures, dimensions, flange configurations, and actuation requirements. VAMECA will help you identify the right AVM product line and provide the technical documentation required to evaluate your project in Quebec and across Canada.
