Double Dump Valve to Effectively and Smoothly Discharge Abrasive and Fibrous Material from Dust Collection Systems.
The Double Dump valve feeds and moves chunky or fibrous material that would jam ordinary rotary valves and is durable enough to move abrasive material. It uses tandem gates to maintain proper pressure above and below the valve and has a reinforced closure mechanism to prevent air seepage. This double flap valve can be configured to operate using air or electricity and requires little maintenance. See the video below for a animated demo.
A double dump valve is used in a dry material handling system where a loss of positive or negative pressure is not acceptable. For this reason, it is an excellent alternative to a rotary valve or knife gate valve.
The minimal wear design of this double dump valve is also better able to handle large and rough materials, which are free flowing and not sticky, that could jam a rotary valve. They are often used to discharge material from hoppers, dust collectors, and baghouses and usually their operation is powered by an electric motor.
Key Features |

Valve Operation |
A double dump valve has twin chambers, each with a door that opens to dispense material. The cam operation is such that a door opens only when its chamber is sealed by an internal flap. The doors open alternately to permit a steady flow of material. While one chamber is collecting, the other is dispensing. |
Aerodyne Valves |
The Aerodyne line of material handling valves is one of the longest lasting and most durable in the powder and bulk handling industry. |
