Roller Gates with Wear-Compensating Seals

Versatile Vortex roller gates handle dry bulk material in gravity flow applications where positive material shut off and dust-tight sealing are required. They are ideal for many dry material applications, such as mixing and blending. The roller gates can be applied to shut off or meter the flow of fine and moderately abrasive powders and small to large granules or pellets. They also handle sticky materials, horizontal or vertical valve orientation, and are ideal for the food, cement, chemical, plastics, and textile industries. The roller gates feature “live loaded” wear compensating seals that prevent materials from escaping into the bonnet area of the gate. These seals are easily replaced without removing the valve from the processing line.
