Slide Gate Valve

Vortex slide gates and diverters are designed and engineered with two main principals in mind.

Slide gate valve.

The slide gate valve helps control gravity batch unloading when handling dry free flowing materials. The slide plate of the gate is not in most applications open or exposed to people. The valves are mounted on the outlets of hoppers tanks silos mechanical conveyors or on the inlet of loading spouts. Awwa slide gates the best technology for strength and longevity waterman offers best in class water control slide sluice gates for water treatment wastewater and hydropower applications.

Sliding sleeve air on off valves slide the knurled sleeve in one direction to stop flow and slide it back to start flow again. Threaded gradual on off valves also known as gate valves these gradually open and close to prevent system damage from suddenly starting and stopping flow. Vortex s design philosophy is to develop products that compensate for wear require minimal spare parts provide in line maintenance and maintain a longer service. Perform maintenance without taking the valve out of line.

Extend the service life of the valve and 2. Slide gate valves are designed to provide an efficient method for controlling the flow of free flowing dry bulk materials. Pull handles open and close faster than wheel handles. They re noted for their excellent sealing and leak resistance and for their long service life.

Rising stems lift as the valve opens and lower as the valve closes to provide a visual indication of whether flow is on or off. Our slide gates diverters loading spouts iris valves handle nearly any type of dry solids from fine powders to heavy ore. Vg slide gate valves are used in all heavy duty applications where interception of gravity material flow is required. Slide gate valves are linear motion valves in which a flat plate slides into the flow stream to provide a shut off of material or air.

Vg slide gate valves are suitable for virtually all industrial sectors including the food industry. Altough there are some major differences slide gate valves are also known as knife gate valves. Perform maintenance without taking the valve. Extend the service life of the valve and 2.

We offer them as permanent fixtures on gravity feeder systems or as maintenance valves used to isolate components for service. The gate can close or open the slide plate on a moving column of material at all times. Slide gate valves ideal for handling dry bulk material in gravity flow dilute phase or dense phase pneumatic conveying applications.
