New Quantum Series 3-Way Wye
Line Diverters
 SALINA,
KS - The global leader in valve solutions, Vortex® Valves
North America - a division of Salina Vortex Corporation -
introduces its new, patent-pending, Quantum Series 3-Way Wye
Line Diverter specifically engineered to handle dry bulk
solids in pneumatic conveying systems with vacuum or
positive pressures up to 15 PSIG (1 barg).
The Quantum Series 3-Way Wye
Line Diverter, available in 2" to 8" (50mm to 200mm) pipe or
tube, can direct dry bulk material from one source to three
destinations, or converge from three sources to one
destination.
Vortex utilizes precision laser
cutting and bending technology to manufacture this
leading-edge diverter valve. It provides a number of
advantages over traditional flapper and rotating tunnel
style diverters and eliminates trouble spots inherent in
these conventional diverters. The wye line diverter provides
superior sealing, low installation weight, fast "in-line"
maintenance, and long-term, reliable service.
The Quantum Series Wye Line
Diverter provides positive shutoff of air and material
improving process efficiency, minimizes cross contamination,
and eliminates material buildup beyond the closed port.
Adapting the Vortex Quantum Series Wye Line Diverter to meet
system requirements is made easy with a wide selection of
actuators, position indication switches, flanges, and tube
stubs.
The Quantum Series 3-Way Wye
Line Diverter also offers a wide variety of modifications to
accommodate high or low temperatures, corrosive, humid, and
hazardous environments. Contact Vortex for application
specific information.
For more than 30 years, Vortex
has provided quality Slide Gates, Diverters, and Iris Valves
designed specifically for handling dry bulk solids in
gravity, vacuum, dilute, or dense phase applications. Vortex
Valves are engineered for dependability, durability, easy
maintenance, and offer proven solutions to material handling
and process efficiency problems. With an in-house team of
engineers, Vortex Valves can be completely customized for
individual applications or special installations.

Ultra-High Capacity Twin
Centrifugal Screener
 MILLBURN,
NJ -- A new Centri-Sifter® Twin Ultra-High Capacity
Centrifugal Screener introduced by Kason Corp. matches the
capacity of two individual High Capacity screeners within a
smaller footprint, while cantilevered three-bearing shafts
allow rapid sanitizing, according to Henry Alamzad,
president.
Dry or moist bulk solid material
is gravity-fed through a feed splitter to evenly divide the
flow of incoming feed material into the two
horizontally-oriented cylindrical screening chambers which
operate in parallel. A shaft in each screening chamber
rotates a helical paddle assembly that accelerates the
radial movement of particles against the screen.
On-size particles pass through
apertures in the screens and fall through a cone-shaped
discharge chute, while oversize particles are propelled
through the open end of the screen cylinders and ejected
through a discharge spout.
Each of the screening chambers
features a sliding end cover and three-bearing shaft that
cantilevers for quick removal of internal components.
External roller bearings are
located at the motor end of the shaft and on a sliding cover
at the discharge end for maximum support and vibration-free
operation. When the end cover is hinged open, the shaft
becomes a cantilever supported by a third externally-mounted
roller bearing located between the motor-end bearing and
material feed point, allowing internal components to slide
freely from the opposite shaft end for thorough wash-down.
In addition to sifting and
scalping of dry bulk materials, the screener can break up
soft agglomerates and/or dewater moist solids or slurries.
The screener is constructed of
stainless steel finished to 3-A, FDA, BISSC, and other
sanitary standards required for food, dairy, and
pharmaceutical applications, as well as
contamination-sensitive chemicals.
The company also manufactures
other types and sizes of centrifugal screeners as well as
circular vibratory screeners and fluid bed dryers, coolers
and moisturizers.

Mr. Moorlach wants help with
blow-through rotary valve:
I have a dust collector
(Airjet Filter) with a blow-through rotary valve.
Now I have a bit of a
problem, the product is something you find in a vacuum
cleaner (so called Hoover Vac) and is building up above this
rotary valve because the pressure underneath the rotary
valve is positive and in the filter it is negative.
What would one of your guys
think is the best solution to prevent this problem?
A pneumatic vacuum lift is no
option the product has to be transported via a pressure
line. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mr. Castano needs to calculate
material pressure on walls:
We are helping a client who's
designing a large concrete silo for clinker, but the
containing walls of this silo are not vertical. The cross
section of the silo is approximately 3/4ths of a circle,
making the silo also the majority of a sphere.
The usual formulas to
calculate material pressures and material friction on the
silo walls apply to vertical walls.
Do you know of any references
we can use to estimate the bulk material normal pressures
and shearing friction that he should consider on the
inclined walls of this silo?
