Worldwide, plant managers and maintenance engineers recognize the Vortex® Orifice Gate™ as the industry standard. It was the first valve specifically designed for handling dry bulk solid materials, and is “the original” orifice gate valve. Purpose: Prior to the Orifice Gate, conventional knife gates and butterfly valves were commonly used in dry bulk solid material handling systems. Though knife gates and butterfly valves are well-designed for handling liquids and gases, they are ill-equipped for handling dry bulk solids. With their deficiencies in mind, the Vortex Orifice Gate was designed to present a high-quality solution specifically for dry bulk solids handling. Key Features Live loaded, wear compensating hard polymer pressure plate seals Shimming system for in-line maintenance Optional Special Service Inlet minimizes material contact with the seals Displacement area as an alternative to packing materials into an end seal Positive seal of materials/dust-tight seal across the blade and to atmosphere Mechanically self-cleans its seals on the opening stroke, if actuated to full-open No pinch points or exposed moving point for safety No internal cavities to prevent wedging, lodging & spoilage Narrow profile for limited space applications
