Slide valve Vortex® Aero-Slide™

shut-offcarbon steelfor bulk materials

The Vortex® Aero-Slide™ Drum Valve is a self-contained unit that prevents material packing, dusting to atmosphere and other valve failures. ‍ Ideal application: The Aero-Slide Drum Valve is specifically designed to be used in tandem with the Vortex® Aero-Slide™ Conveyor. Unlike the Vortex® Aero-Slide™ Gate Valve, which is primarily intended for material shut-off, the Aero-Slide Drum Valve is well-designed for metering material flow. The Aero-Slide Drum Valve features a rotating, cylindrical-shaped blade with a V-notched bore. This provides for more precise metering control. Conveyance Type Low pressure, air-gravity conveyance only Materials Handled Lightweight, fluidizable dry bulk solid powders Standard Sizes 6 – 16 in | 150 – 400 mm (even sizes standard) Opening Available in square or rectangular sizes Material Temperatures 180°F | 80°C for standard valve Body/Frame Options Carbon steel Material Contact Options Carbon steel Seal Construction Rubber, felt, and stainless steel (layered seal) Drive/Actuation Double-acting air cylinder and linear action electric actuator Position Confirmation Magnetic reed and proximity Material Flow Controls AVP, IVP, VPO, VPC
