HDPV2 Handling Cement Powder

SLIDE GATES, DIVERTERS, IRIS VALVES, ANGEL HAIR TRAPS, AERATED CONVEYING, & LOADING SOLUTIONS Ideal for handling dry bulk material in gravity flow, dilute phase or dense phase pneumatic conveying applications. Vortex equipment is designed and engineered with two main principals in mind: 1. extend the service life of the equipment and 2. perform maintenance without taking the equipment out of line. Vortex products serve many industries. Some of the industries that use the Vortex equipment 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 - World Leading Trade Fair for Processing, Analysis, and Handling of Powder and Bulk Solids Take advantage of the overall dynamics offered by POWTECH, the leading exhibition for experts in powder and bulk solids technology! This event provides a presentation platform for innovations and advancements in processes for the manufacture of quality products made and processed from powder, granules, bulk solids and liquids – also for the environmental and recycling sector Within the mechanical processing technology sector, POWTECH is the largest and most international sector platform worldwide for processes used in the manufacture of quality products from powder, granules, bulk solids and liquids. From fine nano particles to coarse stoneware – this is the only event to show the special features of bulk solids handling in their entirety. Here you reach process technicians and engineers, bulk materials experts, production managers, scientists as well as process and project engineers. See for yourself the specialist and professional depth of the meetings and discussions from engineer to engineer. Here you are brought together with trade visitors with specific questions and a profound professional understanding – this is confirmed by the exhibitors in 2017: 93 % of the exhibitors reached their most important target groups. 92 % of the exhibitors established new business relations.

Special slide gates were required for this application. Because of the solvent nature of vapors created in the mix tank below, it was unacceptable for the sourced valve to feature silicone rubber seals. In addition, all switches and solenoids had to be rated for hazardous duty (NEMA 7/9). The Vortex HDPV2 Gate met each of these requirements. The gate’s unique “lifting” action of the blade seating into a top-mounted o-ring offers many advantages over traditional knife gate valves that pack and jam material into an end seal. A Class II / Div. 1 pre-wired terminal box was also provided to meet the client’s hazardous duty standards. Two years after installation, one of the gates was handling red pigment when it experienced a slight blade sticking problem. To solve the issue, Vortex supplied quick exhaust valves that were installed on the gate’s air cylinder actuator to increase the speed of the gate’s opening stroke.
