Bulk Solids Handling & Processing Innovations

Valves, Gates & Airlocks

Valves, gates and airlocks innovations for dry materials handling operations

The extensive range of valve types that are available reflects the challenges of controlling, directing and metering the flow of dry bulk materials in processing operations. Not all valves just control the flow by gravity of materials from storage vessels or through mechanical conveying systems, many are used to direct the flow through pneumatic conveying systems. Others are used in dense phase pneumatic conveying systems to release pressurized materials from the blow pots that provide the motive power. The actuation of valves can range from manual, pneumatic, electric to hydraulic. Each type offers particular benefits or is designed for a specific application. Slide valves are perhaps the most widely recognized, but butterfly, disc, dome, diverter, iris and rotary valves are widely used too. This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in valves, gates and airlocks that are used for bulk material processing & pneumatic conveying applications.
