Cone Valves are preferred for feeding and discharging highly abrasive materials like sintered dust, slag powers, Chips or any other granules. These cone valves are extensively used in sintered plant below ESP’s in steel plants. They are used for controlled feeding as well as achieving air lock sealing.
These consist of two independent Cones mounted one upon other with their opening and closing alternated and synchronized to ensure that only one valve opens at a time. Selection of Cone and Cone seal ring depends on the characteristics of material to be handled and system requirement like pressure sealing.
