Abstract
A cam-driven valve system includes a valve housing configured to define a plurality of fluid passageways and to support an array of sliding gate fluid valves in the fluid passageways in such a way that the flow of fluid therethrough is controlled. The system includes a plurality of cams supported on a cam shaft. The cam shaft is arranged so that each cam is associated with a corresponding sliding gate valve. Rotation of the cam shaft results in actuation of the valves via the cams. The cams of the cam shaft vary in shape and size.
