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.
The Vortex Handslide Gate is a manually operated process gate used to control flow on the inlet/outlet of hoppers, bins or totes in applications where powered gates are not feasible or desired.
These Vortex Pivoting Chute Diverters were designed with 316L stainless steel and will be used to handle potassium sulfate by an American minerals supplier.
The Vortex Seal Tite Diverter is used in gravity flow applications where dry bulk solid materials must be diverter from one source toward (in this case) three destinations.
A chemical plant sourced chainwheel operated Vortex Roller Gates to handle polymer. These gates are located 10-12 feet off the ground. A looped chain allows for the gates to be opened from the floor.
Each application for a slide gate or diverter valve has its own unique requirements. What are the factors that determine what type of valve is selected and what modifications are necessary?
