These Hand Crank Vortex Titan Slide Gates are being used as maintenance gates beneath product silos. Metallurgical coke is a basic raw material used for the production of pig iron and steel.
This hydraulically-actuated Vortex Titan-Lined Diverter features a 106” x 16” transition that feeds material to a 48” x 16” diverter inlet and two 36” x 16” outlets.
These Vortex Titan Pressure Valves were slightly modified at the request of the customer. They were manufactured using stainless steel fasteners and painted with a special high temperature paint.
The Vortex Roller Gate was identified as the ideal solution for this application. The Roller Gate is designed for handling powders, pellets and granules in gravity flow and low pressure applications.
The Vortex Titan Slide Gate is designed to handle abrasive materials in gravity-fed applications. Soybeans are notoriously abrasive.
In this application, three-way Vortex Flex Tube Diverters are installed vertically utilized to divert the flow of green coffee beans from one source toward three destinations.
This Vortex Pivoting Chute Diverter features “wetted parts” (parts that material comes in direct contact with) made of abrasion-resistant steel (400 BHN) to address wear from the material handled.
This is a gravity flow application where material is being conveyed from a hopper to a grinder and a flaker.
The Vortex Titan Slide Gate is designed to handle abrasive materials in gravity-fed applications. To combat wear, the gates contain abrasion resistant steel blades and liners.
This hand wheel actuated Vortex Titan Pressure Valve will be installed in a line that is venting air from a furnace. It will seal minimal differential pressure.
This hydraulically actuated Vortex Titan Pivoting Chute Diverter features outlets offset to 15° with inspection covers on both sides.
This Vortex Seal Tite Diverter features a special 14” (356 mm) round to 8” square inlet and 8” square to 8” round, schedule 40 pipe, stub outlets.
These gates are replacing problematic gates previously installed beneath silos and conveyors. Vortex Gates were chosen because of superior features and past performance.
Two Vortex Titan Slide Gates are part of this unique loading system.
The Acre Road facility at the University of Glasgow houses a variety of wind tunnel and flow generation devices.
This hand-wheel actuated Vortex Titan Slide Gate was manufactured with a “dead pocket” special service inlet.
The Vortex Pivoting Chute Diverter was chosen for this new cement facility based on the diverter’s features and recommendations from current Vortex customers.
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.
Twelve Vortex Titan Slide Gates were specified for this synthetic slag blending facility. The gates are manufactured with abrasive resistant steel inlet liners and blades to address wear.
The application is for a new conveying line that transfers material from their process to a bucket elevator that elevates the material into a silo.
The Titan Maintenance Gate is chosen when harsh, dry bulk materials are being handled. The carbon steel body and frame offer added durability and resistance to wear and abrasion.
