VORTEX® QUANTUM SERIES ORIFICE GATE

The patent pending Quantum Series Orifice Gate is specifically designed to handle dry bulk solids in gravity flow, dilute phase, or vacuum conveying systems.

A full flow orifice provides unrestricted conveying of material with no disk or ledges to impede flow or cause material bridging. The gate seat and live-loaded seals are shielded from blast abrasion by a metal insert, which provides a smooth bore through the valve improving performance and decreasing any pressure drop across the orifice.

By design, the valve “self cleans” material from the seat on each stroke of the valve blade, improving overall seat life. The Quantum Series Orifice Gate is designed to eliminate problems, enabling you to meet your objectives by increasing production, while decreasing labour and equipment costs.
