Dual cylinder design reduces overall length by one third. With the Vortex Dual Cylinder Roller Gate valve, there is no metal on metal contact between the blade and the valve body. This feature eliminates the associated gate seizing and binding seen with other slide gate valves.
Clean by design - Other slide gates typically contain ledges where material have the opportunity to cross-contaminate and spoil. Internal ledges have been minimized in the Vortex Roller Gate valve.
Metal material contact points in the Vortex Roller Gate valve are 304 stainless steel. Materials of construction meet FDA requirements. This is an excellent slide gate for food grade applications. |
Dust tight - Pressure loaded, hard polymer seals are located above and below the blade. A pressure loaded UHMW polyethylene end liner seals the leading edge of the blade. |
Applications:
The Vortex Roller Gate provides a dust-tight material seal. Compactness of gate makes it ideal for weigh hopper discharge.
- Gravity flow (however, may be modified to handle some differential pressure applications)
- Handles non abrasive to abrasive material
- Horizontal or vertical valve orientation
- Open / closed or volume metering of material
- Modifications available for a variety of environments
Key industries served: Bakery, Chemical, Cement, Food, Milling, Mineral, Paint, Pet Food, Pharmaceutical, Plastic, Rubber, Soap, Stone, Sugar, Textile, Tobacco.
