Powercon make slide gates are used to control the discharge of bulk materials from hoppers, bins, silos or conveyors. Slide Gates consist of a rigid frame with a slide plate located inside that opens and closes against the flow of material. The slide plate can be actuated by manual, pneumatic, electric or hydraulic means. The slide plate is supported by frictionless rollers to allow for easy actuation. The slide gate assembly utilizes bolted covers on both the top and bottom to create a dust-tight enclosure while allowing easy access for maintenance. Powercon Slide Gates are a great complement to our bulk material handling and processing equipment
