Vertical slide gate valves are used in applications
where a material flow shut-off is required in air gravity conveying
applications. The vertical slide gate uses a Blanchard ground
chamfered blade. It has the ability to cut through fairly
dense material in a very short period of time. Not only can
it be used to shut-off material flow, it can be used as a flow
control. Typically a pneumatic actuator is used to open and
close the vertical slide gate valve. The pneumatic actuator
can be fitted with a 3 position positioning package that will allow
a middle position. For a wider range of flow control a 4-20mA
electric actuator is used to actuate the valve infinitely in real
time. A large variety of materials can be handled with
vertical slide gate valves regardless of their abrasive nature or
bulk density. The only criteria are particle size, moisture content, and temperature.
Material moisture content should be below 1% and
temperature can not exceed 1200 degrees Fahrenheit
[649° C].
DCL offers product compatibility tests in order to determine optimum
conveying angles and aeration
volumes. A minimum product amount of 2 cubic feet
[0.07 m³] is required
to conduct a proper test.
DCL offers a large selection of vertical slide gate valves from
6 inches [152 mm] wide up to 36 inches
[914 mm] wide and conveying capacities up to
1000 cubic feet per minute [28.3 m³/min].
Vertical slide gates are also available in a
high top or low top design allowing for maximum flow rate or minimum
head room depending on the application.
A choice of construction materials allow handling of all types of
products; fine, granular, lumpy, abrasive, corrosive, and sanitary
applications. A choice of electrical options are also
available allowing for installation in almost any environment; NEMA
4, NEMA 4X, NEMA 7, NEMA 9, 120V/220V control, 460V/415V power, etc. |
