Bush & Wilton

Bush & Wilton manufactures rotary airlock valves, slide gate valves, and diverter valves for powder and bulk solids handling in industrial process applications. The company's roots trace to a foundry established in Bristol, England, in 1783, which later expanded into machining for aircraft and aero-engine castings before entering the materials handling equipment business in the 1950s. Its rotary airlock line includes parallel bore, tapered bore, offset, blowing seal, dust collector, twin outlet diverting, high pressure, and extended or oversize configurations. Slide gate valves are offered in pneumatic, manual, screw, electric, and crank-operated versions, while diverter valves include pressure-sealed conveying, gravity, slide box, plug, and double slide gate designs. The company operates from Tiverton, England, with an associated US operation, Bush & Wilton Inc., based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that distributes these products in North America.
