Rotary Valve — Innovation and R&D at GORGORI

For over 25 years, GORGORI has taken the Rotary Valve beyond a one-off development: we have turned it into a core innovation element within our processes. Historically installed on tipping chassis of all sizes, these solutions have served as a real laboratory to continuously improve unloading, reduce operational times, and raise standards in Quality, Safety, Environment, and Hygiene.

Our Innovation Approach

• Practice-based evolution: every improvement arises from field observation — operational data, operator feedback, and incident analysis — and translates into design iterations applicable to real operations.
• Systemic design, not just a component: we understand the valve as part of a system (chassis, handling, procedures) and address its optimization through integration of all elements.
• Multidisciplinary validation: prototypes undergo mechanical tests, leak tests, flow simulations, and hygiene checks, with strict technical and regulatory criteria.
• Continuous improvement: fast R&D cycles allow transitioning from testing to operational deployment with adjustments based on real metrics (unloading time, dust emissions, incident rates).

New Applications: Fixed Rotary Valve

We have recently developed the Fixed Rotary Valve application, designed to integrate into our clients’ facilities. This is not about moving a product, but offering an integrated technological solution that facilitates plant unloading processes:

• Configuration options according to facility layout and product type.
• Compatibility with plant control and monitoring systems for real-time data.
• Modular approach facilitating pilot testing and phased scaling.

Research, Testing, and Technology Transfer

• Controlled pilots: progressive implementation in supervised environments to collect metrics and validate results before full deployment.
• Training and technical documentation: knowledge transfer to client teams to ensure safe and efficient operation.
• Feedback loop: protocols to receive usage data that feed future design and procedure improvements.

Expected Impact

The focus on innovation has allowed GORGORI to transform unloading procedures into safer, traceable, and more sustainable processes, reducing operational times and exposure to labor and environmental risks — all achieved through applied engineering and close collaboration with clients and facilities.
