Gate valve FHSXX

manualaluminumfor bulk materials

The Vortex® Handslide Gate™ is designed specifically to handle dry bulk solids in gravity flow conveying. 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 protected from material flow by a metal insert. By design, the valve “self cleans” material from the seat on each stroke of the valve blade improving overall seat life. Ideal application: Manually operated process gate, used to control flow on the inlet/outlet of hoppers, bins or totes in applications where powered gates are not feasible or desired. Key Features Displacement area as an alternative to packing materials into an end seal Live loaded, wear compensating hard polymer pressure plate seals Shimming system for in-line maintenance Optional locking pin to secure the blade in the open or closed position "Scissoring" action reduces seal wear and minimizes material shearing Stainless steel liners protect the gate’s seals from material flow Mechanically self-cleans its seals on the opening stroke, if actuated to full-open No internal cavities to prevent wedging, lodging & spoilage Flange options to match up with equipment above and below the gate Conveyance Type Gravity flow only.
