Iris Valve

The iris valve from Vortex is a patented technology specifically designed for handling dry powder and granular products released in free fall. It is ideal for use in systems such as bulk bag dischargers or hoppers, where products need to be transported quickly and efficiently. An iris valve is particularly well-suited for delicate or “fragile” products. The valve operates using an iris-like mechanism, where a flexible ring opens and closes, allowing precise control of the product flow. This design ensures a tight seal, preventing dust or product leakage, which is crucial in industrial processes aiming to reduce dust emissions and minimize waste. The iris valve is manufactured from materials such as stainless steel AISI 304, acid-resistant steel AISI 316, or aluminum. It features a stainless steel control ring, a quick-release lock, and a handle for easy operation. Additionally, it comes with CE and FDA certifications, making it suitable for use in both industrial and food-related applications. Available in sizes ranging from DN100 to DN450 mm, the iris valve is versatile and can be adapted to various systems and requirements. Whether you work with chemical, pharmaceutical, or food products, this valve can help optimize your process by ensuring efficient and gentle material handling. Technical Description
