Orifice gates to handle powders, pellets or granules
This company’s Quantum orifice gates (photo) are specifically engineered for handling dry bulk powders, pellets and granules in gravity flow, pneumatic (dense and dilute phase) or vacuum conveying systems with pressures up to 15 psig, depending on size. The orifice gates feature wear-compensating hard polymer seals that are protected from the material flow stream. Standard sizes available range from 1 to 16 in. (50 to 400 mm), with various options for materials of construction. Operations are safer due to the elimination of pinch points and exposed moving parts, says the company.
