ADDITIONAL VORTEX VALVE PRODUCT INFORMATION
Mechanically cleans
The Vortex Clear Action Gate mechanically clears material from the sealing surfaces on each closing stroke. This action allows material to discharge beneath the valve. Open cavities where materials collect in other knife gate valves have been eliminated with the square blade and seal arrangement.
No material packing
Other square blade, slide gate valves typically jam and pack material into the end of the valve as they close. By design, when the Clear Action Gate valve is closed, the leading edge of the blade does not make contact with the valve body. Any material at the leading edge of the blade discharges beneath the valve.
Clear Action Gate is a Salina Vortex trademarked product. Industries utilize different equipment terminologies.
This type of valve may be used independently or incorporated with other dry material handling equipment within a material handling system. This type of valve may also be known to those within the dry material handling industry as: bulk solid handling valve, cleanable valve, control valve, dry material handling valve, dry material valve, fda valve, gate valve, discharge valve, electric actuated valve, feeder gate valve, knife gate valve, material handling valve, pneumatic conveying valve, pneumatic operated valve, salina valve, slide gate, slide valve, vortex, vortex valve.
