Vortex HDP slide gate

The Vortex HDP slide gate handles non-abrasive to abrasive powders, granules and pellets. It isolates pressures up to 5 bars (75 psig) depending on size and will not leak to atmosphere or across the valve. The maintenance-friendly HDP slide gate contains a displacement pocket that reduces/eliminates material packing as the blade closes. The unit was developed to address applications, including: gates placed at the discharge of bins or silos experiencing high aeration; gates located above or below airlocks feeding into higher pressure conveying lines; gates used with scaling operations where air pressure leakage through the valve could potentially cause weight variances; process gates for dense phase conveying systems. Patent-pending, unique features include self-adjusting blade and clevis; self-adjusting bonnet seal cartridge; and“tombstone” blade design and outlet transition.
