Count on vortex roller gates for a dust-tight material seal
The Vortex Roller Gate feature “live loaded” wear compensating seals that prevent materials from escaping into the bonnet area of the gate. These seals are easily replaced without removing the valve from the processing line. The Roller Gate utilizes easily accessible, nylon cam-adjustable rollers instead of blade guides – a feature that is critical to avoid material packing. Material packing can cause the valve to wear out prematurely.
Adapting the Roller Gate to a system is made easy with a wide selection of gate positioning controls, position indication switches, and flanges. The Roller Gate also offers a wide variety of modifications to accommodate a range of temperatures, corrosive, humid, and explosive environments. Vortex Roller Gates also offer a wide variety of actuation choices – including electric hydraulic, pneumatic, chainwheel, and hand crank. Options include rectangular sizes, stainless steel construction, inlet/outlet transitions, seal access ports, removable seals, and more.
