Vortex Orifice Slide Gate Valve for Precise Dry Bulk Flow Control

7 Jan 2026  |
The Vortex Orifice Gate provides precise material flow control for dry bulk handling systems, designed to address the specific challenges of conveying powders, pellets, and granules.

This valve features a self-cleaning blade that mechanically clears material from the sealing surfaces on every closing stroke, preventing material packing and ensuring a positive, dust-tight seal.

Unlike traditional slide gates or butterfly valves that may suffer from leakage or cross-contamination, the Orifice Gate eliminates internal cavities where material can lodge and spoil. Its live-loaded hard polymer seals compensate for wear over time, extending maintenance intervals and reducing downtime.

By maintaining a full-bore opening, the gate ensures unobstructed flow, minimizing line pressure drops and enhancing overall system efficiency.
