Flap Shutter (KV)

The patented „singold“-Flap Shutter is qualified for all kinds of bulk material and solid-liquid mixtures, if the container is completely emptied, as f.i. container scales, containers, primary and secondary vessels in mixing plants, waggons, reservoirs under filters and separators, cone worm mixers, etc.

The figure on the reverse shows the functioning of the flap. By means of the lever system, the flap is vertically moved down and swivelled laterally by the side of the discharge opening, thus enabling a free discharge of the product. There are no abrading and shearing stresses arising at the gaskets so that they do not undergo any wear and tear. Joints and bearings are situated outside the product stream, their standard execution is service-free (until approx. 200 degrees C).

In case of the pneumatic design, the flap opens very quickly, so that the product stream is not deviated. Also in case of manually operated flap designs, large nominal widths can be opened quickly with low energy consumption at a high flap load.
