Why Conventional Butterfly Valves May Be Unsuitable for Abrasive Dry Bulk Solids
Learn why conventional butterfly valves may experience abrasion, particle packing, seat damage, flow restriction, and incomplete shutoff when handling dry powders and granular materials. The guide explains the limitations of standard butterfly valve designs and outlines key factors for selecting purpose-built bulk-solids valves, slide gates, rotary airlocks, or feeding equipment for cement, mining, food, and powder-processing systems.
