Gate valve RBGXX

pneumaticcarbon steelfor bulk materials

The Vortex® Rounded Blade Gate™ is designed to meet the most demanding applications when handling heavy-duty abrasive materials. The RBG Gate handles dry material in gravity flow applications where positive material shut-off and dust-tight sealing is required. The design of the gate allows for rapid actuation to quickly start and stop material flow and makes it a good choice for dry bulk applications that require metering. Ideal application: Above a storage bin or loadout station. Often used to meter flow and hold back large heads of material. Key Features Replaceable liners for added abrasion resistance True arc design for a more precise sealing surface that prevents wedging, lodging and spoilage Positive seal of materials/dust-tight seal across the gate and to atmosphere Replaceable bonnet seal for in-line maintenance Abrasion-resistant blade to prolong service life Removable access panel for in-line inspection and maintenance Rounded blade design and downward closure motion, for rapid actuation Dust-tight to atmosphere Compatible with Vortex material flow control assemblies Opening Available in square or rectangular sizes. Round transition options are available Overall Height 9 – 34 in | 230 – 865 mm Weight 95 – 965 lb | 40 – 435 kg Flange Options Standard flange Custom flanges are available Material Contact Options 400 BHN abrasion-resistant steel, carbon steel Arc Seal Construction Polymer & rubber Drive/Actuation Double-acting air cylinder, electric actuator, hydraulic actuator Position Confirmation Proximity switches
