Four-way wye line diverters to handle protein pulver

SLIDE GATES, DIVERTERS, & LOADING SPOUTS Ideal for handling dry bulk material in gravity flow, dilute phase or dense phase pneumatic conveying applications. Vortex slide gates and diverters are designed and engineered with two main principals in mind: 1. extend the service life of the valve and 2. perform maintenance without taking the valve out of line. Vortex products serve many industries. Some of the industries that use the Vortex slide gates, diverters and loading spouts include: Agriculture, Chemical, Coffee, Dairy, Foods, Milling, Pet Food, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Plastics, Rubber, Textiles, Tobacco, Rock and Sand, Alumina, Bauxite, Cement, Clinker, Coal, Fly Ash, Glass Cullet and Lime/Limestone – to name a few.

National and international exhibitors present their technologies and solutions for the processing, handling, storage, transport and analysis of powders, granules and bulk solids. Our trade visitors are top decision-makers and buyers searching for specific solutions, and come from processing industries such as mechanical and plant engineering, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, mining, stone and earth extraction, food and feed, metal, glass and recycling. More information you will find in our exhibitor catalogue At the same time, the 6th RECYCLING-TECHNIK Dortmund – Trade show for recycling technologies – will take place.

A Feed Mill contacted Vortex to help them control material dust in their facility. They were using a method where material would free-fall into the individual retaining areas, creating a massive dust storm and potential employee health issues. A wheel loader transports the feed ingredients from the stockpile to a mixer. From there, the material is pelleted, bagged, and stored on pallets ready for shipments. Vortex supplied six telescoping loading spouts for the Feed Mill. Each spout is 508 mm across and equipped with double layer, trapezoidal shaped dust skirts that encompasses the peak of the material pile – containing the dust as material is stockpiled. An external tilt probe signals the Auto-Raise System and manages the spout’s retraction process (keeping the dust skirt on the material and preventing material build-up in the spout) as the pile grows.

Last spring, Vortex consulted with a horse feed producer to assist with a process need. At this facility, the client is producing forage cubes. Upstream in the process, bales of hay are broken down and minor ingredients are added before the raw materials are formed into cubes (approximate size: 75 – 100 mm square). Once formed, the cubes are transferred into cloth silos. Below each silo, a common belt conveyor transfers forage cubes to a packaging line, where they are loaded into bulk bags. Vortex was tasked with identifying a solution for discharging forage cubes out of the cloth silos, down onto the belt conveyor. Primarily, the client is concerned with forage cube quality and thus, the cubes cannot be damaged upon gate closure. Upon careful analysis of the application, the Vortex Roller Gate was recommended. The client sourced this small-batch order as part of the “proofing” stage of its new production process. Now installed in their application,

A pet food manufacturer needed to divert kibble dry food from a feeder into one of two disc conveyors, which transports the kibbles to the packaging line. Vortex engineered several 254mm Seal Tite Diverters constructed from stainless steel for the pet food company. The four Vortex Seal Tite Diverters feature a removable access door that allows inspection, maintenance and repairs to be performed without removing the diverter from service. The Seal Tite Diverters also feature removable parts. For return-on-investment purposes, this feature is beneficial because it allows for the replacement of worn parts, rather than full diverter replacement. The Seal Tite Diverters are designed so that the leading edge of the blade actuates into a recessed area. This protects the blade’s seals from the material flow stream, which would otherwise cause them to wear and allow material leakage into the closed diverter leg. The client is very pleased with the performance
