Valves, Slide Gates and Baffles

In any industrial sector, systems for the storage, supply and transport of solid materials need minor components in the form of valves, slide gates, expansion joints and baffle plates in addition to the principal machinery.

Rotary Valves Rotary Valves are valves with a rotating chamber used to transfer a flow of fine solid material across two areas with different pressure and/or temperatures. These valves can perform extraction / feeding functions.

Pendular Valves Pendular Valves are single flap valves with slanted opening that used to transfer a flow of solid material, in powder or lumps, across two areas with different pressure and/or temperatures.

Guillotine Slide Valves Guillotine valves are used to cut off a flow of generally fine grade solid material under a discharge point.

Slide Gates Slide gates are used to cut off a flow of solid material in lumps under a discharge point or hopper through a series of short bars or needles.

Helmet Rotary Gates Helmet rotary gates are valve gates that are used to cut off a flow of solid material, fine grade or in lumps, under a discharge point through a partially rotating curved flap.

Expansion Joint Elements that permit a sealed join between two transfer points for solid material that can move with respect to one another,for example differential thermal expansion.

Deviator Deviators are elements that are used to deviate the flow of solid material from a feed point to two or more different discharge points.
