Vortex valves

Pneuvay Engineering is Australia's exclusive supplier of Vortex's innovative valve products for dry bulk material handling. Vortex Valves are designed to improve material handling efficiency, eliminate external/internal leakage, and increase the overall expectation of valve performance. With over 750 variations across 21 unique product lines, Vortex has a valve solution for nearly every dry material handling process.

If you have been in the solids handling industry long enough, you will know it's not uncommon to find a pile of material building-up underneath a slide gate, see a diverter valve with a dedicated spanner, or discover an actuator with conspicuously large pock marks from the odd wallop (a.k.a. hammer rash).

The varying characteristics of dry solids (bulk density, flow-ability, abrasive, corrosive, particle size, shape, stickiness, hydroscopic, degradation, etc.) means that no particular slide gate or diverter design can be made to "fit" in every application. Failure to select the appropriate valve can result in downtime, material loss/waste, inaccurate weighing, conveying inefficiencies, atmospheric leakage, unnecessary parts inventory, frequent maintenance cycles, safety risks, and this list goes on and on!
