UCC 8” X 10” straight drop gates were designed for on/off service in pneumatic conveying applications of dry ash. The design is rugged, easy to maintain and clean operating. This valve has replaceable abrasion resistant disc and seat options that protect the valve body which extends the service life and reduces the operating costs. The access cover allows the valve to be adjusted and maintained without removing it from the conveying line. The 8” X 10” straight drop gates can be shipped pre-piped and fully assembled with an air cylinder and a variety of limit switches and solenoid valves which reduces field assembly and installation costs.
Swing Disc:
- One piece body – Rugged and high strength design
- Access Covers – Allows adjustments and maintenance to be performed in place.
- Spring loaded packing design – Maintains loading during operation and prevents leakage
- Large throat or flow diameter – Allow high material flow rates and reduces the chances of plugging
- Pivot Ball Disc and Lever Arrangement – Disc is spring mounted to pivot ball which allows self adjustment for better sealing.
- Heated seat option – Prevents build-up of sticky ash which improves performance and reduces maintenance
- Tungsten Carbide Disc and Seat option – Improved wear resistance which reduces maintenance costs.
- Valves are shipped pre-piped and fully assembled – Reduced installation costs
- Valves are rebuildable – Extended service life of the valve
- Limit Switches – Roller lever type and proximity are available with mounting brackets
- Solenoids – Normally closed or open, voltage, manual operators, temperature rating and manufacturer
- Pre-piping – Brass fittings with rubber hose, Swagelok stainless steel fittings and Swagelok stainless steel hoses, Swagelok stainless steel fittings and Swagelok rubber hoses
