These electric actuated valves are being used to introduce sulfur pellets into the inlet of a furnace. They were chosen due to the high temperatures present in a section of the sugar refining process.
Pneumatically conveying open water fish feed is a challenging task. Material degradation must remain minimal to ensure the feed floats or sinks at specific rates.
These Vortex Orifice Gates are specifically designed for outdoor installation. To address the possibility for moisture in outdoor environments, the gates were equipped with PET pressure plates.
When designing valves used to handle cement, engineers need to take into account several factors, including type of material handled, conveying method, conveying line pressures, temperature...
The Vortex TPV is designed to handle up to 100psi (6.9 barg) and withstand temperatures up to 660° F (350° C) in gravity flow, dilute phase, or dense phase pneumatic conveying applications.
The Orifice Gates were installed below product bins, and above rotary airlocks. Stainless, round-to-square transitions were supplied to match the bolt pattern on the airlock.
One fundamental difference when comparing the Vortex Orifice Gate to other valves, such as a butterfly valve or a bull nose knife gate, is the Orifice Gate is designed to handle dry bulk materials.
With a requirement to handle abrasive dust and sticky particulates and a system temperature up to 350 C, the Vortex TPV incorporates cast ductile iron flanges with a hardened 440C stainless steel.
These Vortex HDPV2 Gates are used in a double-dump application to preserve aluminum foil quality in a pyrolysis process.
