Upgraded slide gate for sticky or abrasive powders
Vortex Valves Europe has launched the HDPV2 slide gate, which offers significant enhancements over the original HDP design introduced by the US parent company in 2006. The new model provides a wider bonnet that eliminates a dead pocket where material could potentially build-up. Other design changes include a longer body frame, allowing easier inspection and replacement of seals and wear parts while the gate remains in service.
Also new is a replaceable nylon insert on the rising clevis, which facilitates maintenance. The HDPV2’s unique ramp arrangement offers a shimming system that compensates for seal wear over time. The valve’s design incorporates an O-ring seal through the bonnet and utilises reusable pre-cut gaskets to eliminate material leakage to atmosphere. The air cylinder mount is cast into the frame, which reduces potential areas where leakage could occur.
In recent years the patented, original HDP is reported to have proved successful for a wide variety of applications handling sticky and/or abrasive powders in systems with positive pressures up to 75psig (5 bar). It has been used for handling cullet, glass, sand, cement, borax, gum base, kaolin clay, and a wide variety of problematic dry bulk solids. http://vortexvalves.com/hdpv2
