The Vortex HDP slide gate contains a patent pending, self-adjusting blade and clevis. This feature allows the blade to slide horizontally, then rise vertically into the closed / sealed position. Seal contact and associated seal wear is greatly minimized. Wedging and packing of material into a valve seat is eliminated.
|
Resilient main seal - The main seal is wider and thicker than o-ring seals found in traditional knife gates. The seal is constructed of a food grade, wear resisting urethane compound that compensates for wear and mechanical abrasion. It performs well in abrasive and non abrasive applications. |
Tombstone blade design - The blade is unique in function and appearance. The tombstone shape allows for valve self-cleaning as well as superior sealing of material to the bonnet.
Self-adjusting bonnet seal retainer - As with the blade and clevis, the bonnet seal retainer mirrors the perpendicular movement of the blade. The cartridge style retainer is “live leaded” and readily accessible by removing the rear bonnet cover. Seals may be replaced without taking the gate out of service. |
Applications:
The patent-pending Vortex HDP Slide Gate Valve is designed to handle most dry material in a variety of applications.
- Gravity flow, dilute phase or dense phase (up to 75 psig – depending on size) systems
- Handles non abrasive to abrasive powders, granulars, or pellets
- Horizontal valve orientation
- Seals fine material in higher aeration or pressure applications
- Maintenance friendly
- Patent No. 7163191
Key industries served: Agriculture, Chemical, Cement, Glass, Metal, Mineral, Mining, Plastic, Soap, Stone.
