Vortex Valves has announced the addition of dustfree loadout equipment to its current line of slide gates and diverter valves. Vortex Loading Solutions will offer a product mix of retractable loading chutes, positioners and loading chute filtration systems to load and convey dry bulk materials in various applications including railcars, semi-tankers, open trucks, barges and stockpiling. This development results from the company’s recent acquisition of US-based PMC Unlimited whose loading chutes and filters allow facilities to meet EPA standards and reduce waste. Optional positioners are used to guide telescoping chutes to multiple tractor-trailers or railcars. The vehicle can remain stationary while the positioner accurately guides the chute to distribute the material evenly. Products are engineered to be dust-tight in dry bulk material applications.
“Adding loadout equipment is a natural product extension for our customers as our valves are often found on loadout systems. The acquisition of PMC combined with our established sales network provides an immediate opportunity in the global market,” said Jeff Thompson, Vortex CEO and president. “PMC has proven it has the product knowledge and application experience to properly meet customer expectations.” www.vortexvalves.com
