Product Details :


"Fourteckh Enviro (India) Private Limited’ ‘is recognized in the industry as one of the leading Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter of Double Cone valve and offers a wide range of this product.

Both motorized and pneumatic operation are choices for these cone valves. We at Fourteckh Enviro provide a large selection of double cone valves to our clients that are appropriate for air lock applications. These valves resemble the Rotary Airlock Valve, which is frequently seen in dust control equipment and pneumatic conveying systems. These are also used as volumetric feed-controls to keep the material flowing evenly through processing equipment. Double Cone Valve and Double Flap Valve functions are extremely similar.

Double Cone Valve:

A Double Cone Valve (also known as a Dual Cone Valve or Twin Cone Valve) is a type of shut-off or flow-control valve used primarily in bulk material handling systems. It uses two conical surfaces (cones) that move to open or close the passage of solid materials such as powders, granules, pellets, or abrasive substances.

Working of a Double Cone Valve:

A Double Cone Valve (also called bi-conical valve or dual cone valve) is a flow-control device commonly used in industries handling powders, granules, pellets, or bulk solids. It operates using two conical surfaces that move to open, throttle, or close the material flow. A typical Double Cone Valve consists of Two cone-shaped plugs (inner and outer cones) Valve body / housing Actuator (manual, pneumatic, or electric) Sealing rings Shaft/rod mechanism. The cones seal against matching conical seats in the housing.

Working Principle:

Double Cone Valve comes in a closed position. Both cones sit tightly in the seat. Conical surfaces create a tight seal, preventing leakage of powders. Ideal for applications needing dust-free operation. In the opening phase, the actuator lifts or retracts the inner cone. As the cones separate, a gap forms at the seating surface. Material starts flowing from the opening. Because the movement is gradual, it allows controlled discharge. In the Throttling / Regulation and Partially lifting, the cone adjusts the size of the opening. Allows fine control over the flow rate. Particularly helpful for batching, feeding, or dosing applications. Due to the Fully Open Position the inner cone moves fully away from the seat. Maximum flow of powders or pellets. The design ensures: minimal friction smooth material discharge no sticking or clogging.

Key Features of Double Cone Valve:

  • ❱ Highly leak-proof seal is suitable for fine powders and dust-sensitive materials. Excellent for controlling flow of powders and bulk solids.
  • ❱ Smooth operation minimizes the friction during opening/closing.
  • ❱ Provides airtight sealing, preventing contamination or air ingress
  • ❱ Due to robust construction and replaceable seats Double Cone Valve can handle abrasive or corrosive materials.
  • ❱ Low maintenance requirement
  • ❱ Suitable for high-temperature applications and often used in industries handling hot materials. Strong and durable, suitable for heavy-duty conditions.
  • ❱ Can be automated for continuous processes
