Vortex Quantum
Series Orifice Gate
- Fewer parts than the original
Vortex Orifice Gate
- Weather Resistant
- Superior Sealing Capabilities
- Fast and Easy Maintenance
- Self-cleaning
- Wear Compensating Seals
- Narrow Profile
- 2" - 14" sizes
(tube or pipe construction)
- Designed specifically to handle
dry material
- Original Patented Vortex Design
- Metric Sizes Available
The Vortex Quantum Series Orifice
Gate valve offers significant advantages over traditional
knife gates and butterfly valves. Other gate valves,
knife gates, slide gates, and butterfly valves rely on
soft rubber seals that erode away or tear when handling
dry bulk material. The Vortex Quantum Series Orifice
Gate valve eliminates these problems by using “live
loaded,” hard polymer seals. |

The Vortex Hand Slide Orifice Gate valve offers a dust
tight seal when handling dry bulk material in gravity flow
applications. This manually operated slide gate is
an excellent choice for bins, and hoppers where the use
of powered gates is not feasible or desirable. The
design of the Hand Slide Orifice Gate is particularly appreciated
by companies that utilize ibcs and totes because it totally “blinds” the
opening. |

Vortex “Keeper”
Maintenance
Gate
- Positive material and air seal up to 15 psig to atmosphere
in a closed system
- Spring loaded, wear compensating seals
- Narrow profile
- 6” – 16” round,
square or rectangular sizes
- Metric Sizes Available
- Stainless steel metal material contact points
The Vortex “Keeper” Maintenance
Gate valve provides a positive material and air seal to
atmosphere when installed in a closed system. This makes
it an excellent choice for handling products such as fine
powders in dilute phase (up to 15 psig) pneumatic conveying
systems. The narrow profile makes it easily adaptable to
existing installations. Overall, it is an economical and
reliable means to shut off material flow for system maintenance.
The Vortex Maintenance Gate is designed for low cycle applications.

is designed to meet the demanding applications associated
with handling materials such as sand, gravel, whole grains
and coal. Many
options are available to accommodate abrasive material
and harsh environments.

Vortex HDP Slide
Gate
- Isolates pressures up to 5 bars (75 psig)
- Will not leak to atmosphere or across valve
- Reduces / eliminates material packing
- Can handle abrasive applications
- Is easy to maintain
- Designed specifically to handle dry material.
- Patent No. 7163191
- Metric Sizes Available
The Vortex HDP slide gate contains a patent pending, self-adjusting
blade and clevis. This feature allows the blade to slide
horizontally and then rise vertically into the closed /
sealed position. Seal contact and associated seal wear
is greatly minimized. Wedging and packing of material into
a valve seat is eliminated. |
|
Vortex Iris
Valve
- Durable yet lightweight
- Low maintenance
- Easy sleeve replacement
- Aluminum or stainless steel
- 4” – 18” sizes
- Metric Sizes Available
- Designed specifically to handle dry material.
- Patent No. 7021604
The Vortex Iris Valve offers a reliable
valve to control the gravity discharge of free-flowing
dry bulk material from bins, bulk bags, chutes and hoppers.
A form-fitted, fabric sleeve provides a dust tight seal
and a product barrier so material does not leak to atmosphere
or come in contact with the valve’s actuating parts. This
is an excellent valve for handling delicate or “friable” products.
