The Vortex® Maintenance Gate is designed to shut off material from a hopper or silo when maintenance of downstream equipment is required. In the open position, it positively seals conveying air and material to atmosphere. The hand crank gearing is designed to close through material in case of an upset condition.
Ideal application: Shut off material flow when maintenance of downstream equipment is required or if an upset condition occurs.
PTFE-treated bonnet packing gland, for greater wear resistance and longer service life
Non-rising stem, for easier manual actuation
Hand crank actuation, as a standard
Designed to close through a standing column of material in the case of an upset condition
Optional Special Service Inlet to protect the seals from abrasion
Bonnet cover constructed from clear polycarbonate, for operator safety and to protect the gate from its environment
Constructed from specialized metals and polymers for application-specific durability
No internal cavities to prevent wedging, lodging & spoilage
Narrow profile for limited space applications
Conveyance Type
