Slide gates are flow-control devices used to start, stop, or regulate bulk material discharge from bins, hoppers, and chutes. In bulk material handling systems, slide gates are commonly used for isolation, maintenance lockout, and routing control.

Key Features & Benefits

• Reliable shutoff for maintenance and system isolation.
• Manual or actuated options (pneumatic/electric) for automation.
• Wear and sealing options to match abrasive products and minimize leakage.
• Simple integration into spouting and conveyor inlet/discharge points.

Capacity & Performance

Slide gate capacity is dictated by opening size and upstream feed conditions, commonly supporting up to 500 TPH in larger configurations. Performance considerations include product abrasiveness, pressure head, and required closure tightness.
