Pivoting Chute Diverters Handle Lime and Limestone

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.

POWTECH 2022 is guaranteed to inspire you with its presentation of pioneering innovations. The accompanying programme shows you the latest trends and product developments in the fields of explosion protection, easy-to-clean solutions or cleanrooms. 5. POWTECH – the Industry Barometer Figures are worth a thousand words. 823 exhibitors from 29 countries, over 14,100 trade visitors; the figures for 2019 impressively show the importance of POWTECH for almost all branches of industry, and especially chemicals, pharmaceuticals, metal and food. All the forecasts indicate that value creation in the processing technology segment will carry on growing, so be there in 2022 when the crème de la crème discuss the latest product innovations.

In this application, 50mm (2”) Vortex Wye Line Diverters are included on a factory piece of equipment that acts as a multi-tool machine used for building airplane parts. As holes are drilled to fasten sheet metal, the diverter is used as part of a vacuum system to pull away shavings. The shavings are routed through the straight leg to reduce wear and the off leg pulls to clean air. The straight leg is opposite the air cylinder to fit better in the client’s process. * These specific Wye Line Diverters feature Teflon pressure plates. * Aluminium valve body with live loaded, wear compensating seals with a 304 stainless steel blade. * Inlet and outlet weldments are constructed from carbon steel. Material contact is carbon steel, 304 stainless steel and polymer. * Inlet has a straight through conveying line design for easier ”in line” installation of multiple diverters. * PET pressure plates are backed with a foam void filler and live loaded natural rubber

The Vortex Seal Tite Diverter is well-designed for handling fine materials in gravity flow applications, and provides positive material shut-off with dust-tight sealing capabilities. Based in Cheshire, UK, Tata Chemicals Europe is one of Europe’s leading producers of sodium carbonate, salt and sodium bicarbonate, among other products. Tata Chemicals is the only manufacturer of soda ash and sodium bicarbonate in the UK. Their high-quality soda ash is used in the manufacture of glass, detergents and chemicals, and in several other industry applications. Their many grades of sodium bicarbonate have applications ranging from haemodialysis and pharmaceuticals, to food and animal feed, flue gas treatments, detergents and personal care products. Tata Chemicals’ Lostock site, located in Northwich, Cheshire, has multiple manufacturing processes, including bulk storage, bulk material discharge, and transfer of anhydrous sodium carbonate. This is a material with a fine particle size, with a certain percentage less than 63 micron. In the problem area of the process, materials are transported via a bucket elevator and diverted into either of two chain

This five-way Wye Line Diverter manufactured by Vortex Global is being used by a vinyl extruder to handle CPVC. Material flows from one source to five destinations. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is a thermoplastic produced from chlorination of polyvinyl chloride resin. Previously, this client had to manually switch lines with their old system. The new automated process saves a significant amount of time in their process. The wye line diverters are constructed of 304 stainless steel. A ceramic backing is applied to the high wear areas of the interconnecting tubing to significantly improve the wear life. Three units were installed and the client is preparing to source a fourth in their facility.

20" (508 mm) Vortex Roller Gate with electropolished 304 stainless steel blade to handle sticky materials. This 20" (508 mm) Vortex Roller Gate features a valve body constructed of 6061-T6 aluminum with a 304 stainless steel blade and seal retainers. Material contact is 304 stainless steel and polymer. PET side seals and upper and lower bonnet seals are live loaded and silicone rubber backed. The valve blade is electropolished to handle sticky materials. The valve features a fail-safe closed assembly for operation of valve one-time on loss of air supply. Upon electrical failure and a loss of plant air, the single solenoid valve will shift, allowing the compressed air to flow from the reserved tank, through the solenoid valve to the double acting air cylinder closing the gate.
