Handling the World's Dry Bulk Solids

Quantum Series Orifice Gate - Patent Pending

Quantum Series Orifice Gate - Patent Pending

The patent pending Vortex® Quantum Series Orifice Gate Valve offers significant advantages over traditional knife gates or butterfly valves. Features include "live-loaded," wear-compensating seals, narrow profile, inline maintence, and self-cleaning. Available with Aluminum or Stainless Steel construction, sizes 2 - 14 inches (50 - 350mm).


Vortex Quantum Series Wye Line Diverter

Vortex Quantum Series Wye Line Diverter

The patent pending Vortex® Quantum Series Wye Line Diverter is specifically engineered to handle dry bulk solids in vacuum or dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems with pressures up to 15 psig (1 barg). A full flow orifice provides unrestricted conveying of material with no disk or ledges to impede flow. The diverter seat and live-loaded seals are shielded from abrasion by a metal insert, which provides superior shearing action. The Wye Line Diverter is designed to eliminate problems, enabling you to meet your objectives by increasing production, while decreasing labor and equipment costs.


Application Information

Application Information

The Vortex® Multiport Wye Line Diverter automates the routing of dry material from multiple sources to multiple destinations. It is commonly used to replace hose and manifold systems used with pneumatic conveying applications. Increase efficiency, while eliminating errors and safety issues associated with manual systems.

Company Profile

Slide gates, diverter valves and iris valves for handling dry bulk material. Butterfly valves for air, steam, liquid and certain dry material applications. Valves are applied based on 30 years of proven application experience.

As seen in PT

  • Central Drying Made Simple

    Recent advances in technology have made the concept of drying in a central location—as opposed to right at the machine—more advantageous for certain kinds of processing operations.

  • A new slide gate for dry bulk-solids metering is designed to prevent leakage of air pressure in pneumatic conveying systems.

  • What to See at NPE 2006: Materials and Parts Handling

    Dryers, feeders, blenders, loaders, metal detectors, level sensors, mechanical and pneumatic conveyors, silos, bins, pumps, filters, valves, box fillers, bag dumpers, and materials-handling control systems constitute one of the biggest categories of products on display at NPE.

  • NPE Newsfinder: Materials & Parts Handling

    From pneumatic systems that deliver materials to the processing machine to conveyors and handling devices that pull parts out the back, the trend appears to be “smaller and smarter.” NPE 2000 will show lots of downsized auxiliaries designed for mini processing machines, as well as more compact equipment of every size that frees up floor space.
