Manual Slide Gates For Hoppers

Meyer maintenance slide gates are economical and reliable components used to isolate rotary valves below from hoppers above to control gravity batch unloading.

Manual slide gates for hoppers.

Our tapered supports set on an angle can be easily replaced while the slide gate remains in situ and in the closed position. Extend the service life of the valve and 2. Slide gates kase slide gates are used to control the discharge of bulk materials from hoppers bins silos or conveyors. Slide gates consist of a rigid frame mounted to the bottom of the storage device or conveyor.

Sight glass minimum 4 in. The knife gate and sliding gate valves help control gravity batch unloading when handling dry free flowing materials. Ideal for dry bulk material handling meyer made knife gates and slide gates are reliable and designed to isolate airlock feeders below from hoppers above. Vortex valves serve many industries including chemical cement coal food.

These gates deliver a positive shut off of material flow for service or replacement of the system rotary valve without the hopper being emptied. Kws slide gates are used to control the discharge of bulk materials from hoppers bins silos or conveyors. The inlets and outlets of these gates are square but can be made round by adding square to round transitions. The slide plate can be actuated by manual pneumatic electric or hydraulic means.

Based on plastic pellet material with an average bulk density of 35 40 lbs ft3 complete with. Drain tube minimum 4 in. Slide gates consist of a rigid frame with a slide plate located inside that opens and closes against the flow of material. The purpose of a slide gate below a surge hopper is to shut off material flow so it will not leak to the atmosphere or pressurize the equipment below in most cases.

Stock sizes range from 6 to 24 with both 10 gauge and 8 gauge galvanized metal body options. Perform maintenance without taking the valve out of line. Unlike other manual slide valves the dsv doesn t use an eccentric cam to support the slide gate. The best type of slide gates to install below surge hoppers are roller gates for sticky materials or orifice gates if you need to seal differential pressures.

Vortex slide gates are designed and engineered with two main principals in mind. A slide plate is located inside the frame that either opens or closes against the flow of material. The dsv slide gate valve has externally replaceable slide gate supports. Manual operated rack and pinion slide gates are the most common option.

Ideal for handling dry bulk material in gravity flow dilute phase or dense phase pneumatic conveying applications.
