Valve types used in concrete plants are special equipment developed to regulate and control the flow of cement and similar bulk materials. These valves increase the efficiency of production processes by ensuring that materials are transported at the right time and in the right amount. Tekno Beton develops products that meet the needs of the sector by offering high-quality and durable cement valve solutions for concrete plants.

What is a Valve and Why is it Used?
A valve is an equipment used to control the movement of bulk materials in pipelines or flow systems. It is frequently preferred especially in concrete plants to regulate the flow of cement, lime, sand or other granular materials. Valves are designed to direct, control or completely stop the flow of material and offer different functions with their various models.

Valve Types and Features
As Tekno Beton, we produce durable and long-lasting valve types that are suitable for the needs of concrete plants. Here are the most commonly used cement valve types and their features:

1. Slide Valves
Slide valves are used to control the flow of material in large volume pipelines or silo systems.

Features:
The material flow is precisely controlled with the slide mechanism.
It is resistant to cement and similar abrasive materials.
It can generally be used for a long time in heavy work conditions.
Area of ​​Use: It is frequently preferred in silo bottom outlets and bunker systems.

2. Trouser Valves
Trouser valves get their name from their two-outlet design and are used to regulate the flow of material in different directions.

Features:
The material is directed to the desired outlet point thanks to the direction plate.
It is long-lasting with its structure that requires less maintenance.
It is ideal for low-pressure systems.
Area of ​​Use: It is preferred in the transfer of materials to different lines in concrete plants.

3. Pull Valves
Pull valves control the flow of material with a manual or automatic pull mechanism.

Features:
It provides easy control with its user-friendly structure.
It ensures uninterrupted flow of dense materials such as cement.
It can be easily integrated into systems thanks to its modular design.
Area of ​​Use: It is common in cement bunkers and loading areas.

4. Circular Valves
Circular valves are used for the regular and trouble-free movement of fluid materials in the pipeline.

Features:
Its circular structure ensures that the material flows smoothly.
It offers effective performance in dense materials such as cement.

It is made of durable materials such as stainless steel.
Area of ​​Use: It is preferred in material handling and direction systems.

5. Sediment Valves
Sediment valves are used to clean the sediments accumulated in the system as well as controlling the material flow.

Features:

• It prevents the accumulation of solid and fine particles.
• It ensures that the system operates without requiring maintenance for a longer period of time.
• It is compatible with dense and abrasive materials such as cement.

Area of ​​Use: It is used to prevent sediment accumulation in silos and bunker systems.
