the number one valve for bulk material handling applications

The seal automatically deflates during opening and closing, thereby avoiding contact with the dome and eliminating unnecessary wear.

The seal automatically inflates only when the dome is fully closed.

The Dome Valve has a world-wide reputation for reliability. This results from its simple, cavity-free construction which is designed to minimise the possibility of material build-up within the valve body. The same, simple design philosophy also eases the task of preventative routine maintenance and makes any parts replacement a quick and simple task.

This highly innovative and well proven product from Clyde Materials Handling is probably the most effective, fast closing, bulk material handling valve in the world. It was developed by Clyde Materials Handling in 1974 for use within the company's own advanced range of pneumatic conveying systems. Soon afterwards the valve's much broader application capabilities were realised and it was offered as a stand-alone product.
Stainless Steel Valve

To date, more than 10,000 Dome Valves have been sold world-wide, for applications across a range of industries including:- food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, minerals, power, iron and steel.

User Benefits Full bore unobstructed material flow. Simple, fully proven design. Can cut through moving or static columns of material. Wide range of valve sizes: 50mm (2) to 650mm (26). Forms pressure tight seal when closed. Can cope with pressures up to 35 bar (507 psi). Can handle material temperatures from -20C to +750C (-4F to 1382F). Long operating life. Up to 1,000,000 cycles between major overhauls with most materials. Low maintenance. Ready availability of spare parts.
High Pressure Valve

Full Bore Material Flow Totally unrestricted full bore material flow is assured through the unique design of the dome assembly. A mere quarter turn is sufficient to move from the fully closed to the fully open position. This action positions the dome completely clear of the material flow path.

Dome Valve Succeeds Where Others Fail at Lafarge At Lafarges Westbury Works in the UK, a complex arrangement of diverter valves is used to route highly abrasive cement powder to any of 10 storage silos. The life of the original valves was between 3 and 6 months. A 12 month trial conducted by Lafarge indicated that Clyde Dome Valves would last for approximately 2 years - in fact, the valves were still operating after four years - dramatically exceeding even the most optimistic of forecasts. Dome Valves have now been installed at other Lafarge plants around the world.

From Fine Abrasive Powders to Cohesive Materials User options extend to the choice of dome, both in terms of raw material and any surface coatings required. The dome is usually produced from Cast Iron, S G Iron or Stainless Steel, but other materials and designs will be considered on application. Surface coating options for the dome include:

1. Chrome - For sticky and abrasive materials

2. ENP or Tungsten Carbide - For abrasive materials

3. Epoxy Resin - For corrosive materials

4. Reinforced PTFE - For food, sticky or wet materials These coatings can also be extended to the internal surfaces of the valve body and the adaptors.

From Foodstuffs to High Temperature Ash Several inflatable seals are available, depending upon the application. The choice includes a white food quality seal as well as those specially formulated for high temperature or other hostile applications.

Moving and Static Column Cut Off All Dome Valves are capable of handling fine grain materials and hard abrasive products. Vane Actuator models can cut through static columns of material up to 2mm particle size. They can also cut through moving columns of

powders, pastes and granular products similar to coal above 2mm. Cylinder Actuator models have the added capability of being able to cut

through static columns of material above 2mm.

Other Bulk Material Handling Valves

Dump Valves and Terminal Boxes Dump Valves are used where a number of hoppers positioned in series require selective feeding. They have two operating conditions, straight through and dump. In the straight through condition, a self-inflating easily replaceable seal closes off the respective hopper inlet, allowing the material to be conveyed straight through to the next available reception point.

Switch Valves These types of valves are used for diverting flow in any pneumatic conveying lines or hopper discharge applications and are particularly suitable for abrasive materials. They can also be supplied if operating pressures and temperatures are high. Switch Valves are fitted with two in-line Dome Valves for line isolation and can be provided with multiple discharges or inlets.

Constant Discharge Lock Hoppers Lock hoppers provide constant discharge from collection vessels. They are mainly used if the product is abrasive or when operating temperatures and pressures are high. Since the assembly is normally pressure balanced with the up and downstream equipment, valve wear is negligible.
