DCL’s slide gate and curved valves offer you the shut off control you need for nearly any material and any loadout application. Tipping valves allow you to monitor product flow from outlets of dry bulk dust collectors, filter modules and other discharge points.
Air lock and monitor material flow from outlets of dust collectors and other points.
Sizes from 6” to 18” square. Dual stacked configuration available.
Tipping valves allow you to monitor product flow from outlets of dry bulk dust collectors, filter modules and other discharge points. A tipping valve is a very effective and inexpensive type of airlock.
DCL’s tipping valves can be operated individually, or two valves can be mounted together – allowing more product flow and an even better airlock. Dual tipping valves have a tandem actuator configuration: only one actuator is needed to operate both valves.
Tipping valves can be actuated in many ways: pneumatically for fast action, electrically for precise positioning and by gravity. The seals act as an airlock and are designed to eliminate product leakage when the blade is in the shut off position. Blade seals are selected according to the material being handled and are available to suit any application.
Tipping valves can be suited to handle product up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit [260˚ C].
DCL offers a large selection of tipping valves from 6 inches [152 mm] square up to 18 inches [457 mm] square. Tipping valves are also available in sizes larger than 18 inches [457 mm] and in special configurations on a custom build basis.
A choice of construction materials allows you to effectively handle all types of products – fine, granular, lumpy, abrasive and corrosive – and difficult dusty or sanitary applications. You can also choose from the electrical options that are best suited for your environment: NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, NEMA 7, NEMA 9, 120V/220V control, 460V/415V power, etc.
Shut off, cut, and divert a large head of material flow from silos and bins.
Sizes from 6” to 36” square.
Curved blade valves are designed to shut off the flow of product from outlets of dry bulk storage bins, silos, conveyors, gravity flow chutes and other discharge points.
DCL’s curved blade valves are fast-acting, tight-sealing and very effective for regulating flow rates. The curved blade valve should only be used when handling fine or granular materials and particle sizes like aggregates.
DCL’s curved blade valve housing is constructed of plate steel with cross member supports. Each reinforced curved blade pivots on two flanged bearings allowing it to open and close with ease. Curved blade valves can be actuated in many ways;
pneumatically for fast action, hydraulically for power, electrically for precise positioning and manually with a chain wheel or lever. The seals on the curved blade valve are designed to eliminate product leakage when the blade is in the shut off position.
The seals are mounted to the housing instead of the blade, offering you easy access and replacement. Blade seals are selected according to the material being handled and are available to suit any application.
DCL offers a large selection of slide gate valves from 6 inches [152 mm] square up to 36 inches [914 mm] square. Slide gates are also available in sizes larger than 36 inches [914 mm] and in special configurations including hardened liners.

Shut off material flow from outlets of silos, bins, and other discharge points.
Sizes from 6” to 36” square.
Slide gate valves are designed to shut off the flow of product from outlets of dry bulk storage bins, silos, conveyors and other discharge points. DCL’s slide gate valve frames are constructed from heavy duty 3/16 inch steel with a hardened Blanchard-ground blade which rides on cam rollers or solid guides.
You can actuate slide gate valves in a number of ways: pneumatically for fast action, hydraulically for power, electrically for precise positioning and manually for maintenance and flow control.
Blade seals are selected according to the material being handled and are available to suit any application. A molded urethane inlet liner provides an ideal blade seal if you handle granular products. Additional frame seals are available and should be used if you handle fine dusty material. We also make adjustable seals, which prolong lifespan by reducing the need for seal replacement. These are adjusted from outside the valve frame, a feature unique to the industry.
All DCL slide gate valves are equipped with a dust-tight transition unless they are mounted directly above another valve. This prolongs seal life by relieving product before it packs in the retracted position.
We offer a large selection of slide gate valves from 6 inches [152 mm] square up to 36 inches [914 mm] square. Slide gates are also available in sizes larger than 36 inches [914 mm], rectangular and special configurations including dual opposing blade and dewatering designs on a custom build basis.
