Cablevey Conveyors Tube Conveyor Discharge Valve

Variable Position Discharge for Tube Conveyor Discharge Valve Choose Cablevey’s variable position discharge option for your tube conveyor discharge valve. The variable position discharge valve allows users to drop fractions of the product from the tube at several locations. The valve is equipped with a stepper motor that positions an inner tube to allow a desired portion of the product to be discharged while the remainder continues on to the next discharge. 5 Reasons to Use a Variable Position Discharge Valve The variable position discharge valve presents an improved outlet geometry that allows for fractional discharging across multiple drops without product shearing. Other improvements of this tube conveyor discharge valve include: Improved Design The original discharge opening would allow particles of the conveyed product to hang half in/half out. A new teardrop shaped opening was developed to direct the product to fall out or fall in prior to reaching the shear point. Save Money Newly designed opening decreases product shearing producing more useable product while saving money and preventing waste. Continuous Action The variable position discharge valve allows users to drop fractions of the product out multiple consecutive discharges, allowing a continuous flow of material into hoppers and or bins. Save Time The variable position discharge valve facilitates fractional discharging which allows hopper to not receive any product while the system distributes to the other hoppers or bins. The bins could be feeding packaging machines which have a constant demand for the product. Various Options Discharging anywhere between 0% of the product to 100% of the product at any given discharge point can be done without any damage to material.
