Vortex HDP Slide Gate

Vortex Valves & GatesLeave a comment

• Isolates pressures up to 5 bars (75 psig)
• Will not leak to atmosphere or across valve
• Reduces / eliminates material packing
• Can handle abrasive applications
• Is easy to maintain
• Designed specifically to handle dry material.
• Patent No. 7163191
• Metric Sizes Available

The Vortex HDP slide gate contains a patent pending, self-adjusting blade and clevis. This feature allows the blade to slide horizontally and 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.

Vortex “Keeper” Maintenance Gate

Vortex Valves & GatesLeave a comment

• Positive material and air seal up to 15 psig to atmosphere in a closed system
• Spring loaded, wear compensating seals
• Narrow profile
• 6″ – 16″ round, square or rectangular sizes
• Metric Sizes Available
• Stainless steel metal material contact points

The Vortex “Keeper” Maintenance Gate valve provides a positive material and air seal to atmosphere when installed in a closed system. This makes it an excellent choice for handling products such as fine powders in dilute phase (up to 15 psig) pneumatic conveying systems. The narrow profile makes it easily adaptable to existing installations. Overall, it is an economical and reliable means to shut off material flow for system maintenance. The Vortex Maintenance Gate is designed for low cycle applications.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

Vortex Valves & GatesLeave a comment

• 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.
