Abstract: An apparatus for actuating a valve. The apparatus comprises: an actuator device comprising a piston contained in a cylinder; the actuator device being actuated by a pressurized fluid, in particular compressed air; an opening/closing mechanism of a valve actuated by the actuator device; and a valve device to control and check the flow of pressurized fluid from and toward the actuator device in order to open/close the valve. The valve device is fixed to a front face of the actuator device on the side of the opening/closing mechanism of the valve.

Abstract: A multi-blade dosing valve comprising the following elements: a valve body provided with a central opening; a plurality of shafts, each provided with a respective blade, which extend transversely to the central opening; the blades being able to close, at least partially, the central opening; a motor unit which causes the opening/closing of the blades; and vibrators to set in vibration the shafts and the blades. The multi-blade dosing valve comprises an independent vibrator for each shaft.

Abstract: An apparatus for actuating a valve. The apparatus comprises: an actuator device comprising a piston contained in a cylinder; the actuator device being actuated by a pressurised fluid, in particular compressed air; an opening/closing mechanism of a valve actuated by the actuator device; and a valve device to control and check the flow of pressurised fluid from and toward the actuator device in order to open/close the valve. The valve device is fixed to a front face of the actuator device on the side of the opening/closing mechanism of the valve.

Abstract: A pressure relief valve for containers suited for the pneumatic loading of loose solid products, in particular silos. The valve comprises a valve body having a first end, which pneumatically communicates with the inside of the container, and a second end, which is associated to a flow control organ, which is subject to the action of corresponding closing membrane. The flow control organ periodically establishes a fluid communication between said valve body and a duct that communicates with the outside. The valve is characterized in that at least one portion of the duct that communicates with the outside is suited to be elastically deformed by the pressure difference existing between the inside of said container and the inside of the duct itself.

Abstract: A loading apparatus of a silo includes a pneumatic filling circuit connecting the silo to a tanker for transporting a granular or powdery material and a filtering device suitable to filter the compressed transport gas coming out of the silo. A recovery device of at least part of the energy contained in the compressed transport gas of the granular or powdery material is arranged between the tanker and the silo.

Abstract: An apparatus and related method for the recovery and the pneumatic transportation of dust coming from a filtration system provided with a particulate collection hopper. The apparatus comprises: an intermediate chamber for the passage of the particulate towards the evacuation means; and shutting means for a bottom opening (AP1) of said hopper. The apparatus is characterized in that the shutting means comprise, in turn, a shutter moved according to an arrow (ARW) by the action of intermittent pressurized air that flows in a control conduit forming part of said shutting means. Furthermore, the evacuation means comprise elements, specifically a nozzle aligned with a Venturi, to produce a pressure drop in the intermediate chamber.

Abstract: A conveying screw apparatus for transporting loose material. The apparatus includes:—a power unit apt to rotate an Archimedes screw pushing the loose material;—a charging hopper of the loose material in a tubular body containing the Archimedes screw and the loose material; —a feeding channel of the loose material towards a user; —pushing elements of the loose material present in the feeding channel; and —a back flow preventing device, preventing the back flow of pushing air together with loose material; such a device closing, in case, a through hole to the feeding channel. The back flow preventing device includes a shutter, provided with a plate, undergoing the action of a helical spring which, in any opening/closing step of the through hole, is always substantially perpendicular to the feeding first direction of the material in the tubular body.
