Maintenance Gate

The Vortex® Maintenance Gate is designed to shut off material from a hopper or silo when maintenance of downstream equipment is required. In the open position, it positively seals conveying air and material to atmosphere. The hand crank gearing is designed to close through material in case of an upset condition.

  • The Vortex Maintenance Gate is competitively priced with traditional carbon steel maintenance gates.
    Corrosion-resistant materials of construction provide long-term and reliable service without the seizing and binding associated with carbon steel maintenance gates.
    The hard polymer liner and 304 stainless steel blade make this valve an excellent choice in food handling or other applications where carbon steel or aluminum meal material contact is not acceptable.
