10.03.2014 Abrasion-resistant gate valve has rounded blade

Vortex Valves, Salina, KS, has introduced the latest addition to its Titan Series. The RBG (rounded blade gate) is especially suitable for handling abrasive materials and for applications that may require metering. The rapid actuation of the blade can quickly start and stop the flow of material, which makes it ideal for controlling flow rates. It can be equipped with a wide variety of actuation choices including pneumatic, electric and hydraulic. Designed to meet the most demanding applications when handling highly abrasive materials such as minerals, frac sand, fly ash and whole grains, the RBG handles dry material in gravity flow applications where positive material shut-off and dust tight sealing are required. Its maintenance-friendly design features a bonnet seal which can easily be replaced without need to disconnect the valve body. The precision-cut elastomer seals minimise material leakage to atmosphere, providing a safer and cleaner working environment. To extend the life of the gate, the RGB has abrasion-resistant liners that can be replaced as wear points develop from abrasive materials. 

The RBG is part of the Titan Series product line that Vortex launched in late 2012. In Europe Vortex has offices in the UK and Switzerland, backed up by a network of agents. www.vortexvalves.com/rbg-gate
