The Vortex Quick Clean Orifice Gate valve is ideal for industries handling dry products requiring a valve that needs to be cleaned often (pigments, sticky materials, dry foods, dry dairy products, and pharmaceuticals). It is an excellent choice for applications requiring daily sanitation of equipment to eliminate potential growth of bacteria and micro organisms.
This type of valve is typically used to control material discharge in applications where the valve needs to be cleaned frequently.
Easily Cleaned - Other slide gate valves cannot be readily disassembled and cleaned. They allow cross-contamination, material build up and spoilage. The Vortex Quick Clean Orifice Gate valve utilizes ferrule-type fittings for quick removal and press lock latches for quick disassembly and cleaning.
Applications:
The USDA Dairy Standard Approved Vortex Quick Clean Orifice Gate can be readily disassembled and cleaned without tools. It is an excellent choice for applications requiring daily cleaning or sanitation of equipment.
