The Vortex® Aero-Slide™ Gate Valve is specifically designed to be used in tandem with the Vortex® Aero-Slide™ Conveyor. Designed much like a conventional Vortex roller-supported slide gate, the Aero-Slide Gate Valve features a vertical-mounted blade with a downward closing stroke.While the Aero-Slide Gate Valve can be used for metering, it is primarily intended to shut-off material flow. ‍ Ideal application: Depending on application, the Aero-Slide Gate Valve can either be installed within the convey line or beneath the silo discharge, at the Aero-Slide Conveyor’s inlet. Key Features Narrow profile for limited space installations Primarily designed for material shut-off Common materials handled: cement & fly ash Specifically designed for use with the Vortex® Aero-Slide™ Conveyor Optional return pan or air purge assembly to prevent material accumulation in the bonnet area Conveyance Type Low pressure, air-gravity conveyance only Opening Available in square or rectangular sizes Material Contact Options Carbon steel Seal Material Options PET, rubber, EPDM, and Teflon-coated yarn Blade Roller Options Heat-treated steel Modifications No standard modifications Drive/actuation Double-acting air cylinder, linear action electric actuator, and hand crank Position Confirmation Magnetic reed and proximity Material Flow Controls AVP, IVP, VPO, VPC
