Iris Valve Regulates Material Flow
Can be used on hoppers, bins, dryers, blenders, bulk bag unloaders and vertical pipe lines.
The Lorenz Iris Valve is used to control the flow of powders, granules, flakes or crystals in production equipment like hoppers, bins, dryers, blenders, bulk bag unloaders and vertical pipe lines. The Double Locking Series is available in aluminum with a mild steel, zinc-plated rotating ring. The locking lever is manufactured from aluminum. Polyurethane-coated nylon diaphragms are standard.

When conveying abrasive product an optional “wear sleeve” ensures the product doesn’t have direct contact with the diaphragm resulting in longer life to the diaphragm.
