The Vortex Titan Series Abrasion Resistant Slide Gate is designed as gate for abrasive materials such as whole grains, coal, metal powders or minerals up to 204°C. The heavy duty valve frame construction is based on formed carbon steel channel with a beveled, abrasion resistant steel blade and a displacement pocket on the closing end of the valve. The Titan Gate is available in standard sizes from 100 to 750mm with custom square or rectangular sizes up to 1.8m and larger.

The gate closes through a standing column of abrasive material and still has a dust-tight seal. The slide gate features “live loaded” wear compensating seals that prevent material from escaping into the bonnet area of the gate. These seals are easily replaced without removing the valve from the processing line. The gate utilizes easily accessible, hardened steel cam-adjustable rollers instead of blade guides – a feature that is critical to maintaining a positive seal.
