New valve is suitable for a variety of discharge applications in bulk material handling.

September 13, 2024

Coperion has developed a new discharge gate valve for controlled bulk material flow from storage bins and hoppers to downstream process steps.

This valve is suited for a variety of applications in the chemical and plastics industries with its impressively compact yet very robust construction. One particular feature is that it closes securely and reliably while material is flowing, but usually also when the product column is stationary, making it ideal for demanding applications. This new valve makes installation and maintenance simple.

Latest Technology Enables Compact Design

Coperion manufactures this discharge valve using a precision casting process, enabling its compact and lightweight design. Its intelligent geometry, select guide elements, and the form of the seal ensure that the FFU universal gate valve can be used for a variety of applications with the most diverse demands — even in combustible areas (ATEX). This new geometry is what allows the gate valve to be used in the usual way even when the bulk material is stationary and its high-quality, robust construction ensures dependable operation over time. Various models with manual or pneumatic drive are available in sizes DN 150 to 400 (6 to 16 in.) and can be implemented in a variety of customer-specific options.
