More valve control options

Vortex valves feature variable positioning of the gate blade on opening or closing strokes. They can be ordered for standard vortex orifice gates, clear action gates, roller gates, and gravity vee diverters. The controls are available in three air-actuated options. The first is variable position open / position closed (VPO/VPC), which allows the blade to go from the closed position to a variable open position, and then to either closed or full open position. The second is the adjustable variable position assembly (AVP) that enables the user to control the overall blade position utilizing the programmable logic controller (PLC) controller. Lastly, the infinite variable position assembly (IVP) allows infinite positioning of the blade on the opening or closing stroke.
