Vortex Dual Cylinder Roller Gate

• Excellent for limited space requirements
• Dust tight material seal
• Gravity and low pressure applications
• 6″ – 30″ square or rectangular sizes
• Metric Sizes Available
• Designed specifically to handle dry material.

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.

Vortex Roller Gate

• Dust tight material seal
• Gravity flow applications
• Bonnet seals easily replaced while gate is in service
• 4″ – 72″ square or rectangular sizes
• Metric Sizes Available
• Designed specifically to handle dry material.

With the Vortex 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. The Vortex Roller Gate is an excellent choice for handling sticky material.

Vortex Quick Clean Orifice Gate

• USDA Approved
• Self-cleaning
• Quick disassemble and assemble
• Positive material seal
• 2″ – 8″ diameter sizes
• Original Patented Vortex Design
• Patent No. 5938175

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.

Vortex Clear Action Gate

• Mechanically self-cleaning
• Positive material seal
• Bonnet seals easily replaced while gate is in service.
• 6″ – 16″ sizes
• Metric Sizes Available
• Designed specifically to handle dry material.
• Original Patented Vortex Design
• Patent No. 4938250

The Vortex Clear Action Gate valve is well-suited for installation above a rotary air lock that is feeding into a pneumatic conveying line. It will seal conveying air loss above the rotary feeder. With its stainless steel internals, this valve is it an excellent choice for food applications.

Vortex Hand Slide Orifice Gate

• Self-cleaning
• Easy Actuating
• Wear Compensating Seals
• Narrow Profile
• 2″ – 14″ diameter sizes
• Metric Sizes Available

The Vortex Hand Slide Orifice Gate valve offers a dust tight seal when handling dry bulk material in gravity flow applications. This manually operated slide gate is an excellent choice for bins, and hoppers where the use of powered gates is not feasible or desirable. The design of the Hand Slide Orifice Gate is particularly appreciated by companies that utilize ibcs and totes because it totally “blinds” the opening.

Vortex Quantum Series Orifice Gate

• Fewer parts than the original Vortex Orifice Gate
• Weather Resistant
• Superior Sealing Capabilities
• Fast and Easy Maintenance
• Self-cleaning
• Wear C­­ompensating Seals
• Narrow Profile
• 2″ – 14″ sizes (tube or pipe construction)
• Designed specifically to handle dry material
• Original Patented Vortex Design
• Metric Sizes Available

The Vortex Quantum Series Orifice Gate valve offers significant advantages over traditional knife gates and butterfly valves. Other gate valves, knife gates, slide gates, and butterfly valves rely on soft rubber seals that erode away or tear when handling dry bulk material. The Vortex Quantum Series Orifice Gate valve eliminates these problems by using “live loaded,” hard polymer seals.

Ceramic-Lined Bends and Straights

These have a uniform coating of a specially formulated ceramic material that is added to the inside diameter of the bend to give it a very hard, slippery, glass-like surface. The hardness of the ceramic coating is between 5 and 6 on the Mohs Scale – as hard as glass and just as smooth. The exterior of the bend has the appearance of annealed steel and can be easily painted.

Ceramic-Backed Elbow

This elbow has a jacket across the back of the core elbow which is approximately 1/2″ of ceramic compound. This compound has a Mohs hardness of 9+, second only to diamond which has a Mohs hardness of 10. The ceramic jacket and core elbow is then wrapped with an exterior material to maintain the hoop strength. Once the ceramic compound has been applied, it receives a finished coat of paint.

Wear Resistant Elbows

In highly abrasive applications, ChaDa Sales offers several designs/options of wear-resistant extended-life elbows. All are designed for extending the life of your elbow; choice of design should be based upon customer preference and application experience with a given design.

The basic concept is, once the core elbow has worn through, the cavity fills with the abrasive material and wears against itself, therefore, extending the life of the component.
Extended wear life

• Reduced downtime and loss of material
• Reduced maintenance cost
• Higher system productivity
• Elbows available in various materials
• Sizes available to fit your existing system

Bends

Short and long radius bends for pneumatic conveying systems. Readily available from stock in a variety of materials, wall thicknesses, and center line radii.

• Available in aluminum, stainless steel, carbon and galvanized steel
• Sizes range from 1″OD through 12″IPS (some larger sizes available)

Standard wall thickness

• Tubing – 16, 14, 11 gauge
• Pipe – 5, 10, 40 schedule
• Other wall thicknesses available upon request
