Abrasion is a killer when it comes to bulk handling equipment, as the flow of material wears down components. Vortex has developed a slide gate that can handle some of the most abrasive materials.
Maintenance is a necessity when handling dry bulk materials. When designing systems for these processes, factors must be taken into consideration to ease the frequency of required maintenance.
Handling spices and other food products can be tricky and each application is different, but the proper equipment can make a process much cleaner, simpler and more effective.
The maintenance of dry bulk handling systems can be a timely, costly, and messy endeavor. When designing dry bulk solid handling components used in these systems, many principles must be considered.
When selecting equipment for the handling of dry bulk solid materials in gravity flow applications, there are several factors that should be taken into consideration.
Handling cement is a notoriously difficult process, as it tends to clump together into a solid mass. This can create plugs that block processes and are hard to move.
This article will address just a few of the considerations that must be made before selecting valves to divert or converge dry materials in dilute phase.
The manufacturing of petfood can be a messy endeavour. When properly developed systems and components are sourced, the process can be clean, quick, safe and cost effective.
Many of the ingredients and chemical compounds used in the production of fertilizer require the need for special consideration when selecting the components to be used in its manufacturing.
Grain can be highly abrasive and releases explosive dusts when handled. Laurence Millington, Managing Director of Vortex Global explains how the company’s equipment excels in this environment.
Loading of cement can be a complex endeavor. From environmental and safety concerns to efficiency, many factors are taken into consideration by cement plants when developing a loadout process.
Slide gates are used predominantly to either completely shut off or completely open the flow of material. It may be necessary to limit the amount of material that is allowed to pass through the gate.
Equipment manufacturer Vortex Global has built a pivoting chute diverter that can handle some of the most abrasive dry bulk materials and demanding applications.
The Vortex Loading Spout Positioner is used in conjunction with standard volume loading spouts to facilitate and speed up the loading of open or enclosed trucks and railcars at loadout stations.
In many applications, dust-tight valves can help mitigate concerns of dusting in manufacturing facilities by drastically reducing the percentage of fugitive dusts being released to the atmosphere.
Slide gates are mostly used to either completely shut off or completely open the flow of material. It may become necessary to limit the amount of material that is allowed to pass through the gate.
