This is our high temperature slidegate valve designed to operate handling materials at temperatures of 1900F/1040C and beyond.  This valve is your only choice when it comes to the need for a reliable and safe material shut off when material temperatures are above 1000F/540C.  Customers have chosen this valve for process critical applications on roasters, smelters, furnaces, and boilers.

Companies around the world choose Plattco maintenance gates because they will:

• Effectively and reliably close and seal against material
• Perform in critical, demanding condition
• Offer Convenient & Inexpensive Maintenance for decades of like-new operation

Operating Parameters:

• Can be designed to operate up to 1900F/1040C
• Maximum pressure capability of 5 PSI/.35 Bar
• Can be used to handle materials with ranging in particle size from powders to lump

Excellence in Design:

• Variety of sizes available from 4”inch/100 MM
• Fabricated plate valve body design allows for the use of high temperature capable stainless steels and in some cases exotic super-materials to handle the material temperatures
• The fabricated valve body allows the flexibility to customize the valve’s overall height and flange pattern to suit customer specific needs
• Proprietary and unique floating seat insert allows the valve to handle red hot materials without the possibility of cracking the valve housing – even through thousands of thermal cycles
• All design undergo rigorous finite element analysis to ensure the design intent does not compromise the performance of the valve
• The sloped lower bonnet area prevents material from building up inside the valve’s bonnet
• Support rollers are adjustable to allow for maximum flexibility to set up the valve to provide the best possible seal, even at these extreme temperatures
• Gate support pins allow the gate to slide in the body without the possibility of material buildup jamming the actuation
• In-line removable and replaceable rollers and/or pins, actuation, sliding blade (gate) and packing glands, quick and easy maintenance without pulling it out of line
• Cylinder design offers capability of adding open / closed indicator switches
• Variety of actuation available including pneumatic, electric, hydraulic, screw jack and hand-wheel
