Slide gate
Overview:
- EFM Slide Gates are used to control the discharge of bulk materials from hoppers, bins, silos or conveyors. A slide gate consists of a rigid frame mounted to the bottom of the storage device or conveyor. A slide plate is located inside the frame that either opens or closes against the flow of material.
- EFM slide gates can be provided as a stand-alone component or as part of a complete bulk material handling system.
- EFM designs and manufactures slide Gates for many industries including aggregate, cement, chemical, mining and wastewater treatment industries for controlling the flow of bulk materials.
Application Area:
- Ideal for discharging dry to semi-fluid materials – free-flowing to sluggish.
Available configurations:
- Can be actuated manually, pneumatically, electrically, or hydraulically.
Salient Features:
- Wide range of construction materials – Carbon and Stainless steel based on the application.
- Heavy-duty rollers with anti-friction bearings for withstanding head loads.
- High force actuators to cut through upset conditions.
- Dust-tight construction to eliminate dust emissions.
- Custom seal design – to prevent material leakage.
