Gate Valve Handles Highly Abrasive Materials
Vortex’s Titan Pressure Valve is designed
to address higher-pressure applications
up to 100 psig and higher temperatures
up to 660°F (350°C). The TPV gate is
engineered for highly abrasive applications and is claimed to require minimal
maintenance over the life of the valve.
Vortex said its patented rising-blade
technology ensures an optimal seal and
positive material shutoff with the use of
lifting lugs, preventing the blade from
jamming or packing material upon closure, which can cause serious downtime.
Unlike most knife gates, the Vortex TPV
contains a replaceable seat that can significantly increase the life of the valve.
The fully bonneted slide gate has castductile iron flanges with a hardened
440C stainless steel blade and seat.
Flanges match No.125/150 ANSI
mounting pattern with through holes and
blind tapped holes. A double acting air
cylinder opens and closes the valve, and
optional metering controls are available. www.vortexvalves.com
