Rotary Valve
Rotary Valve — Controlled bulk container discharge
Rotary Valve is a discharge system specifically designed for intermodal bulk transport. At GORGORI, we have refined this solution through years of R&D to provide fast, safe, and traceable discharges for both food products and industrial goods.
What is a rotary valve in transport?
The rotary valve is a mechanical system that regulates the flow of bulk materials from a container or silo.
In intermodal transport, it is used for controlled discharge, ensuring a uniform flow and preventing blockages or losses.
Key advantages:
- Uniform discharge: continuous flow without abrupt interruptions.
- Reduced risks: less manual handling, fewer incidents.
- Versatility: compatible with multiple products, from food to industrial materials.
Specialized transport and discharge service
At GORGORI, we understand clients need solutions tailored to their cargo.
Rotary valve discharge is integrated into our transport service, managing the process from start to finish:
- Transport of goods in intermodal containers.
- Preparation for discharge with tilting container frames.
- Controlled discharge via rotary valve, following safety and quality protocols.
- Delivery in optimal conditions for subsequent handling or storage.
