Vortex gates and valves are engineered to improve flow control, reduce leakage, and ensure consistent, reliable operation in bulk material handling systems.
Improve Flow | Reduce Leakage | Increase Reliability
Isolate dry solids in pressure or vacuum conveying lines.
The Vortex Orifice Gate uses a full-bore sliding opening for dry bulk solids. It is suitable for gravity flow and dilute-phase conveying, with pressure or vacuum suitability determined by size and configuration.
Tell us what you handle, where the component fits, and what needs to improve.
Also referred to as: Pneumatic conveying gates; Orifice slide valves; Pressure/vacuum slide gates.
The open gate provides an unobstructed flow path.
Live-loaded hard polymer pressure plates maintain blade contact.
A shimming system supports seal adjustment without removing the gate.
Review the exact duty, material, temperature, connections, and control requirements with RTS before ordering. Published ranges cover a product family and vary by configuration.
A material name, a process sketch, and a description of the current problem are a useful starting point. Include throughput, bulk density, temperature, and operating conditions when available.
For replacements, send the existing model or serial number, opening dimensions, bolt pattern, available space, and photos.
Send the existing dimensions, connections, actuator details, and operating duty. RTS can review the installation and identify what needs to match before a replacement is selected.
Include abrasion, corrosion, cleaning, temperature, and product-contact requirements. Let us know any required documentation or hazardous-area classification.
Share the upstream and downstream equipment and the intended operating sequence. RTS can help review how the component fits your conveying, batching, or loading arrangement.
