Regarding the use of palatal gate valves
Thread Content
Seeking expert advice: The company plans to install a gate valve under the green clay silo (currently, the material flows directly onto the ground after passing through the silo, and then is loaded onto trucks using a forklift). I would like to know more about the sealing performance of such gate valves as well as their actual usage. (The material contains some moisture and tends to form scale, similar to sludge). I have not used it before, and I’m worried that it may not meet environmental standards once purchased.
A knife gate valve can be used; it is not affected by sludge and has a shut-off function. It can be designed according to your requirements.
The feeding port is designed as a square feeding port with dimensions of 4000mm*3000mm: L
4000*3000? Is it really that big, 12 square meters? How much pressure is there, to require such a large amount of material?
Is 4000*3000 the size of the silo or the size of the discharge opening? What kind of valves are needed for such a large area? The E-type is generally used for dry materials; chlorite contains water and cannot be sealed.
There’s no significant pressure; it’s just the gravity of the waste that causes it to fall. Since I had never used it before, I contacted several manufacturers but didn’t obtain the information I needed. It is mainly due to sealing issues, as the waste contains a significant amount of moisture.
It’s the size of the material discharge opening; it just seems unstable, which is why I came to ask the experts for advice. The manufacturer’s reply is definitely that there’s no problem and it can be done
The manufacturer can do it, but is it really necessary to make it that large? Your car can even fit inside
