The official Nitto Metal Industry website has been updated with a "Technical Column." 【Partial Opening Can Cause Leaks】Correct Use of Shutter Valves Our product, the "Shutter Valve," is a valve specifically designed for bulk materials, intended for use in fully open or fully closed positions with complete discharge. Due to its structure, using it in a partially open or closed state can lead to the possibility of powder leaking through gaps. To answer the question from our customers, "So how much does it actually leak?" this column examines how much leakage occurs when the shutter valve is in a partially open state while powder is being fed in.

○ Structure - The valve consists of four types: inlet side joint, outlet side joint, two sealing plates, and a sliding plate. - The sliding plate is sealed between the sealing plates. - The inlet side uses a Heller joint, and the outlet side uses a pipe joint. The inlet and outlet sides can be configured to match storage containers or manufacturing equipment. - A plunger-type lock prevents malfunction of the sliding valve. ○ Operation - The sliding plate is opened and closed by sliding. - It allows for faster opening and closing than a handle-rotating valve (such as a diaphragm valve), but may pinch solid objects like tablets. - When opening or closing the valve, lift the knob of the plunger lock before moving the slide. ○ Specifications Material: SUS304 (SUS316L compatible) Plunger lock: SUS303 Sealing plate: Fluororesin (PTFE)
