Aerodyne's Double Dump™ Gate Valves Provide Jam-Free Operation with Chunky
and Abrasive Materials up to 750°F
CLEVELAND, Ohio - April 30, 2010 - Aerodyne, a specialist in solving dry
material handling problems introduces its durable GatorGate™ Double-Dump™
Valve to feed and move chunky, fibrous, and abrasive material efficiently.
These double dump valves work with low pressure air or gravity feed systems
where standard rotary valves are prone to failure. Unlike other double-dump
gate valves, the GatorGate Double-Dump Valves have spring loaded gate arms,
and the gates open and close alternately, thereby preventing air seepage and
maintaining proper pressure. The standard cam-operated gate mechanism is
actuated with an electric motor and offers a reliable, cost-effective
alternative to pneumatically controlled valves. In comparison, pneumatic
versions of competitive double-dump gate valves require large volumes of shop
air for operation.
Typical applications for the GatorGate Double-Dump Valve are dry material
handling and bulk material handling in wood, scrap metal, plastics, cement,
and various manufacturing industries. Available in three standard sizes of 8",
10", and 12" inlet diameters, they can handle flow rates from 85cu-ft/hr up to
320cu-ft/hr, and withstand temperatures up to 750°F. Their design provides low
maintenance in dust collection, mixing, batch feeding, drying, material
recovery, and gravity fed hopper operations where rotary valves fail.
All gate valves are made with heavy duty carbon steel, gear reducers, cam
mechanisms, and easy-access cleanout doors that don't require tools. Optional
features include stainless steel construction, an explosion proof motor,
pneumatic air cylinders, and diaphragm actuators. High temperature and high
pressure options are also available
