Our ORBINOX ‘XC’ series Hopper Outlet knife gate valve technology was selected for use on an arduous bulk handling application, as the primary hopper isolation valve.
The metal seated valve was fitted with our ‘C’ type deflector cone, to protect the body from the abrasive medium, whilst guiding the bulk material through the centre of the valves bore, reducing the potential for any solids getting trapped within the cavity.
The valves body incorporates 5-off flushing ports c/w our purge system, engineered to ensure a uniform pressure at each flush port, for optimum performance.
The XC series Hopper Outlet valve has been automated with our double acting pneumatic cylinder c/w a manual override facility. 2-off IFM NAMUR type inductive proximity sensors have been included, for the open / closed position remote indication.
