TITAN SERIES Valves for Heavy-Duty Material Handling TSG Gate The Vortex TSG Gate is designed to meet the most demanding applications when handling heavy-duty abrasive materials such as sand, gravel, coal, and whole grains. The TSG Gate handles dry material in gravity ow applications where positive material shut-off and dust-tight sealing are required. This slide gate is available in a wide variety of congurations with rectangular sizes and customer specic hole patterns. Conveying Types : GRAVITY FLOW DILUTE PHASE PNEUMATIC CONVEYING DENSE PHASE PNEUMATIC CONVEYING Adjustable Rollers Externally...

For application photos or a complete list of specications and dimensional drawings, visit Abrasion Resistant Liners & Blade Abrasion resistant liners positioned at the inlet of the gate address potential wear issues that may exist from either the volume or the abrasiveness of the material being handled. The liners are replaceable, when needed. The gate’s blade is also manufactured of abrasion resistant steel. The combination of the abrasion resistant blade and liners are important in providing a gate that offers longevity and an exceptional life-cycle cost. Pressure loaded, polymer bonnet seals...

TITAN SERIES Valves for Heavy-Duty Material Handling Aggregate Gate The Vortex Aggregate Gate is a more economical solution to handling larger, abrasive aggregates where internal sealing of ner material is not an issue. The aggregate gate handles dry material in gravity ow applications and is available in a wide range of congurations with rectangular sizes, customer specic hole patterns and actuation options. Conveying Types : GRAVITY FLOW DILUTE PHASE PNEUMATIC CONVEYING DENSE PHASE PNEUMATIC CONVEYING Safety Bonnet Cover Material Deectors Higher Temperatures The Aggregate Gate is capable of...

For application photos or a complete list of specications and dimensional drawings, visit Wear Reducing Material Deectors The Aggregate Gate’s material deectors are placed around the inlet of the valve and protect it from the material ow stream. By deecting material away from the hardened steel rollers and blade seals this feature signicantly reduces wear and downtime keeping the valve in service longer. The Aggregate Gate utilizes a displacement end pocket that is similar to the TSG Gate but not as pronounced. Instead of packing or jamming material into an end seal, the blade stops part way...

TITAN SERIES Valves for Heavy-Duty Material Handling RBG Gate The Vortex RBG Gate is designed to meet the most demanding applications when handling heavy-duty abrasive materials. The RBG handles dry material in gravity ow applications where positive material shut-off and dust-tight sealing is required. The rounded blade is ideal for applications that require metering and is available in a wide variety of congurations with rectangular sizes and customer specic hole patterns. Conveying Types : GRAVITY FLOW DILUTE PHASE PNEUMATIC CONVEYING DENSE PHASE PNEUMATIC CONVEYING Actuation Options The Vortex...

For application photos or a complete list of specications and dimensional drawings, visit Dust Tight Design The RBG’s dust tight design does not allow leakage of material to atmosphere, which is becoming more important for all industries. Material leakage to atmosphere can create air emission problems, lead to potential nes, affect plant cleanliness, cause employee health issues, and decrease prots. The curved blade moves through a true arc and not an elliptical arc as with traditional rounded blade gates. This feature allows for a more precise sealing surface between the blade edge and end seal....

TITAN SERIES Valves for Heavy-Duty Material Handling TPV Gate Conveying Types : The TPV is designed to address higher-pressure applications up to 100 psig (6.8 barg) and higher temperatures up to 660° F (350° C). The TPV Gate is engineered for highly abrasive applications and requires minimal maintenance over the life of the valve. Vortex’s patented rising-blade technology ensures an optimal seal and positive material shutoff with the use of lifting lugs. This prevents the blade from jamming or packing material upon closure which can cause serious downtime. Unlike most knife gates, the Vortex...

For application photos or a complete list of specications and dimensional drawings, visit Patented Rising Blade Design The beveled leading edge of the blade closes into a matching beveled lower ange to force the blade into the seat. A matching bevel on the clevis forces the blade into the seat on the opposite end of the blade. The bevel on the leading edge of the blade ends before it reaches the blade guide. This forces material forward and back into the convey line. The blade is kept in contact with the seat throughout the stroke of the air cylinder with the aid of blade guides. These guides...
