Company Profile
The Global Leader in Valve Solutions, Vortex slide gates, diverter valves, and iris valves are specifically engineered for handling dry bulk solids. Butterfly valves for air, steam, gas, liquids and certain dry material applications are also available. Industries served range from plastics, chemicals, and minerals to grains, fibers, and food stuffs.
Companies using our products refer to us as the "standard" of the industry. Our patented valves have become standard equipment for many suppliers of dry bulk material handling systems. Vortex Valves are an economical solution where industrial reliability is a prerequisite. Vortex Valves are specifically engineered for each application. Models and modifications are available for specific materials, temperatures, environments, systems and equipment match ups. Applications are based on over 30 years of proven application experience.
Air control valves, indicating switches, transitions, adapters and pre-wired terminal boxes are just a few of the accessory items we offer. Volume metering controls are also available.

zircon | Product Details  | Vortex ® Orifice Gate ™ The Vortex Orifice Gate valve offers significant advantages over traditional knife gates and butterfly valves. |
 | The Vortex “Keeper” Maintenance Gate valve provides a positive material and air seal to atmosphere when installed in a closed system. |
 | With the Vortex Roller Gate valve, there is no metal on metal contact between the blade and the valve body. |
 | The Vortex Quick Clean Orifice Gate valve is ideal for industries handling dry products requiring a valve that needs to be cleaned often. |
 | The Vortex 3-way Wye Line Diverter offers positive sealing in both vacuum and pressure conveying systems. |
 | The Vortex Gravity “Vee” Diverter valve provides a dust-tight material seal in gravity or low pressure applications. |
 | The Vortex Clear Action Gate valve is well-suited for installation above a rotary air lock that is feeding into a pneumatic conveying line. |
 | The Vortex HDP slide gate contains a patent pending, self-adjusting blade and clevis. This feature allows the blade to slide horizontally, then rise vertically into the closed / sealed position. |
 | Dual cylinder design reduces overall length by one third. With the Vortex Dual Cylinder Roller Gate valve, there is no metal on metal contact between the blade and the valve body. |
 | The Vortex Aggregate Gate valve is designed to meet the demanding applications associated with handling materials such as sand, gravel, whole grains and coal. |
 | The Vortex Quantum Series Orifice Gate valve offers significant advantages over traditional knife gates and butterfly valves. Other gate valves, knife gates, slide gates, and butterfly valves rely on soft rubber seals that erode away or tear when handling dry bulk material. |
 | The Vortex Hand Slide Orifice Gate valve offers a dust tight seal when handling dry bulk material in gravity flow applications. This manually operated slide gate is an excellent choice for bins, and hoppers where the use of powered gates is not feasible or desirable. |
 | The Vortex Iris Valve offers a reliable valve to control the gravity discharge of free-flowing dry bulk material from bins, bulk bags, chutes and hoppers. |
 | The Vortex 2-way Wye Line Diverter offers positive sealing in both vacuum and pressure conveying systems. The scissor material shearing action allows the valve to be reliably diverted on a stream of material when required. |
 | The Vortex 4-way Wye Line Diverter offers positive sealing in both vacuum and pressure conveying systems. The scissor material shearing action allows the valve to be reliably diverted on a stream of material when required. |
 | The Vortex 2-way Flex Tube Diverter’s unique design eliminates material cross-contamination through a positive seal across the closed port and the elimination of internal ledges and pockets. Bi-directional. |
 | The Vortex 3-way Flex Tube Diverter’s unique design eliminates material cross-contamination through a positive seal across the closed ports and the elimination of internal ledges and pockets. |
 | The Vortex Fill Pass Diverter provides a versatile and reliable method for filling one or more “in line” use hoppers when material in conveyed pneumatically (up to 15 psig) through a closed loop system. |
 | The Vortex Aggregate Diverter handles abrasive material such as sand, gravel, whole grains, and coal. Optional modifications are available for extremely abrasive applications where cross-contamination or material spoilage is not an issue. |
 | The Vortex Seal Tite Gravity Diverter valve solves many of the material handling problems found with traditional flapper diverters. |
