Controls gravity flow discharge

Orifice slide gates are used to control gravity flow discharge from storage bins and hoppers. In the open position, the gate’s blade is completely removed from the control opening, making a resistance-free passage for the material stream. Orifice gates are also well-suited for controlling the material lines in vacuum and pressure, dilute-phase conveying applications.

Design Features

  • Special stainless steel service inlets used when the gate is used on hard or abrasive materials
  • Designed for applications with temperatures up to 82°C [180°F]
  • 50 - 355 mm sizes [2 - 14 in]
  • Aluminum frame with stainless steel-lined orifice and gate blade, and nylon pressure plate gate seals
