Our ORBINOX ‘XC’ series hopper outlet knife gate valve technology was selected for use on an arduous bulk handling high temperature application, consisting of coal and iron pyrite abrasive material @ +200 degrees Celsius. The metal seated valves were fitted with our ‘C’ type deflector cones, to protect the valves body from the abrasive medium, whilst guiding the bulk material through the centre of the valves bore. It also acts as the primary scraper, reducing the potential for any solids getting trapped within the valves cavity. The bulk handling high temperature valves have been automated with our double acting pneumatic actuators, and fitted with our proprietary PneuLINK™ linear-to-rotary integrated control platform c/w an Intrinsically Safe Valve Control Monitor, incorporating the 2-off NAMUR inductive sensors, and the integral 5/2 mono-stable solenoid valve. The high visibility beacon provides visual indication of the open / closed positions. ORBINOX – Valve solutions in more than 70 countries
