Curved blade valves can be actuated in many ways pneumatically for fast action, hydraulically for power, electrically for precise positioning and manually with a chain wheel or lever. Each reinforced curved blade pivots on two flanged bearings allowing it to open and close with ease. The curved blade valve should only be used when handling fine or granular materials and particle sizes like aggregates.ĭCL’s curved blade valve housing is constructed of plate steel with cross member supports. You can also choose from the electrical options that are best suited for your environment: NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, NEMA 7, NEMA 9, 120V/220V control, 460V/415V power, etc.Ĭurved blade valves are designed to shut off the flow of product from outlets of dry bulk storage bins, silos, conveyors, gravity flow chutes and other discharge points.ĭCL’s curved blade valves are fast-acting, tight-sealing and very effective for regulating flow rates. Tipping valves are also available in sizes larger than 18 inches and in special configurations on a custom build basis.Ī choice of construction materials allows you to effectively handle all types of products – fine, granular, lumpy, abrasive and corrosive – and difficult dusty or sanitary applications. ĭCL offers a large selection of tipping valves from 6 inches square up to 18 inches square. Tipping valves can be suited to handle product up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Blade seals are selected according to the material being handled and are available to suit any application. The seals act as an airlock and are designed to eliminate product leakage when the blade is in the shut off position. Tipping valves can be actuated in many ways: pneumatically for fast action, electrically for precise positioning and by gravity. Dual tipping valves have a tandem actuator configuration: only one actuator is needed to operate both valves.

A tipping valve is a very effective and inexpensive type of airlock.ĭCL’s tipping valves can be operated individually, or two valves can be mounted together – allowing more product flow and an even better airlock. Tipping valves allow you to monitor product flow from outlets of dry bulk dust collectors, filter modules and other discharge points.
