Aero-Slide Drum Valve

The Vortex® Aero-Slide™ Drum Valve is specifically designed to be used in tandem with the Vortex® Aero-Slide™ Conveyor. Unlike the Vortex® Aero-Slide™ Gate Valve, which is primarily intended for material shut-off, the Aero-Drum Valve is well-designed for metering material flow.

• Dust-tight to atmosphere
• Can shut-off or meter material flow
• No bonnet area. Therefore, material migration and its associated actuation issues are prevented
• Optional Dual cylinder configuration for installation beneath a silo
• Common materials handled: cement & fly ash
