Isolation Gates
Isolation gates are used in evaporating and spray
drying systems to separate components between a wet
process and a dry process; or to divert air flow in
process air ductwork.
Isolation gates isolate components that need to remain dry while
performing wet wash or CIP operations. Such as, isolation between
ductwork and a baghouse, or isolation between ductwork and a wet
scrubber. The isolation gate is also used to create a process component
bypass for alternative processing methods.
EDT’s isolation gate is
unique flush mount design that creates a positive seal between two
components with all force internal to the gate. Therefore, no stress is
transferred to the adjoining components. This design eliminates the
potential for component movement or cracking. |

Isolation Gate (Open) |
|
The isolation gate is
a self-supporting unit that permanently mounts to adjoining components
or to process air ductwork.
A slide gate easily
inserts into the flange and seals to create positive isolation. When the
slide gate is removed from the flange the ductwork remains completely
unrestricted - no airflow or process interference.
This new flush mount
design eliminates pockets or gaps between components that may leak and
allow components to become wet.
Space saving and
convenient, the isolation gate allows for fast and easy changeovers to
perform CIP or other processing operations.
This isolation gate is
an exclusive design developed and provided by Evaporator Dryer
Technologies, Inc.
