Vortex Quantum Series slide gates and diverters are the valves our customers have been using for decades to shut off, meter, and divert their dry bulk material. It’s our traditional line of valves for dry bulk processing and conveying through gravity flow or pneumatic (pressure or vacuum) conveying.

Some of the industries that use Quantum valves include but not limited to: Agriculture, Chemical, Coffee, Dairy, Foods, Milling, Pet Food, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Plastics, Rubber, Textiles, Tobacco, and Wood – to name a few.

Vortex Titan Series slide gates and diverters are valves that are engineered for HEAVY-DUTY material handling applications that pose additional abrasion or wear issues. This series also covers pneumatic conveying (pressure or vacuum) and gravity flow material handling.

Some of the materials handled with Vortex Titan valves include but not limited to: Alumina, Bauxite, Cement, Clinker, Coal, Fly Ash, Frac Sand, Gravel, Glass Cullet, Lime/Limestone, Metal Powders, Potash, and Sand – to name a few.

Engineered Solutions for handling dry bulk material have always been a part of Vortex. Our Application Engineers listen to the customer’s needs and match the right valve to the application parameters. Material characteristics, environment, and valve requirements all must be considered to properly modify the valve to fit the application.

Because the combinations are nearly endless, a commodity valve or off the shelf valve will not be enough. Vortex offers over 800 million variations of slide gates and diverter to meet almost any dry bulk processing application. We can sometimes take one of our standard valves and make some minor modifications to fit the customer’s application. Other times the only thing left standard on the valve is the famous black and silver Vortex sticker.
