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.
