Slide Gate Products from Vortex
We offer a wide range of slide gate products to fit specific industry needs. Choose from any of the pneumatic conveying products listed below:
Pneuvay Quantum Orifice Gate
Vortex® Quantum® Series Orifice Gate™ is designed to prevent
industries from frequent valve maintenance, production inefficiencies
and unsanitary environments.
Unlike common knife gates and butterfly valves sold in the market today, the Orifice Gate has been specifically engineered to handle dry bulk powders,granules and pellets. These knife gates rely on its soft elastomeric seals that erode or tear away in service while its butterfly valves has incorporate discs that cause significant flow restrictions resulting to an impacting system performance and throughput. Thus, both designs leads to the efficient promotion of wedging and packing of materials, as well as the prevention of positive air and material shut off.
Pneumatic Conveying Advantages
of Quantum Orifice Gate
The patented Quantum® Series Orifice Gate™ is specifically designed to handle dry bulk solids in gravity flow, dilute phase, or vacuum conveying systems providing the following benefits to industries:
- Decrease labour and equipment cost
- Eliminate problems
- Increase production
A full flow orifice provides unrestricted pneumatic conveying of material with no disk or ledges to impede flow or to cause material bridging. The gate seat and live-loaded seals are shielded from blast abrasion by a metal insert, which provides a smooth bore through the valve improving performance and decreasing any pressure drop across the orifice. By design, the valve "self cleans" material from the seat on each stroke of the valve blade, improving overall seat life.
Pneumatic Conveying Features
of Quantum Orifice Gate
The Vortex® Quantum® Series Orifice Gate™ features:
- Smooth and unobstructed bore for unrestricted flow of material
- Accurate metering of material with optional metering controls
- Self-cleaning action with no material build-up
- Air cylinder model with magnetic piston
- Easy installation and maintenance
- Seal protected from abrasion

Pneuvay HDP Slide Gate
The unique "rising" blade design of the patented Vortex® HDP® Slide Gate sets itself apart from traditional industry slide gates by providing positive material shut-off in applications. It offers the durability and efficiency required to meet today's material processing demands.
Pneumatic Conveying Advantages
of the HDP Slide Gate
Traditional slide gates or butterfly valves are designed to handle gases and liquids, but not dry materials. These valves rely on soft seals that are susceptible to blast abrasion and material packing, which eventually produces leakage of air and material through the valve or to the atmosphere. This results to:
- Unsanitary plant environments
- Frequent valve maintenance
- Production inefficiencies
The Vortex® HDP® Slide Gate is designed to prevent these problems, enabling you to meet your objectives by increasing production while decreasing labour and equipment costs.
