An orifice gate valve for dry bulk solids handling
A new orifice gate valve for dry bulk solids handling makes two major advances, in one single modular design: the valves have been specifically designed for solids handling applications
ATEX-approved accessories and control packages are also available for Group II categories and applications.
Both achievements have come in little over a year since Vortex Valves Europe was launched in the UK by its US parent company.
Managing Director, Jon Naylor has headed the UK operation from the start: "This certification is a great bonus, as, in the first 12 months we have focused on introducing people to the valves, through our mobile demonstration service.
This approach works because engineers get a clear, first-hand appreciation of how the designs overcome problems associated with conventional valves.
We have now taken a step further and issued a nationwide challenge.
This invites anyone with a troublesome, expensive valve on a solids handling line to have it replaced by a Vortex valve, free of charge".
In further news, the company has launched a new, multi-functional website dedicated to UK and European customers.
Full details of the new accreditations and the replacement valve challenge can be found there, on the website.
