Flow direction valves are essential components used to direct the movement of powders, granular materials, and gases within processing systems. Various valve models are available to suit different applications and material characteristics.
Types of Valves
Sliding Valve
Sliding valves are primarily used for controlled discharge at the outlets of bunkers and silos. They ensure regulated material flow and are suitable for many industrial applications.
- Common Uses: Silo and bunker discharge
- Drive Options: Manual, pneumatic piston, hydraulic piston, or actuator
Pendulum Valve
Pendulum valves are typically utilized to control gas flow rates in ventilation or exhaust systems.
- Material: Manufactured from steel or stainless steel depending on gas type and temperature
- Drive Options: Manual, electric motor, pneumatic or hydraulic piston
Trousers Flap
The trousers flap valve is designed to divert materials from a single inlet to two separate outlets. This type of valve is especially useful in routing materials to different lines or systems.
- Body Material: Steel, stainless steel, or specially coated as per the material handled
- Drive Options: Manual, pneumatic piston, hydraulic piston, or actuator
Bucket Valve
Bucket valves are used to feed materials from silos or bunkers to conveyors or pallet systems. They can function in either open/closed or proportional modes based on the process requirements.
- Common Uses: Material feeding in stock halls, silos, and conveyor systems
- Drive Options:
- Open/Closed Operation: Pneumatic or hydraulic piston
- Proportional Operation: Actuator
All valve systems are manufactured with durability, process compatibility, and operational efficiency in mind to meet your material handling requirements.
