Motorized Flow Control Gate Valve for Cement Silos
(Katup Gerbang Kendali Aliran Bermotor untuk Silo Semen)
Precise Electric Discharge Control for Bulk Material Handling
Overview
The Motorized Flow Control Gate Valve is an electric actuator-driven discharge control device designed for precise bulk material flow regulation in automated conveying systems.
It provides accurate regulation of material flow and ensures smooth, dust-free discharge operation.
Compared with pneumatic flow control gate, motorized flow control gates offer more stable positioning control, adjustable speed and intelligent integration with PLC systems, making them ideal for modern automated cement plants and high-demand industrial environments.
Motorized flow control gate valves are often installed downstream of air slide conveyor systems to ensure accurate discharge control in continuous bulk powder conveying lines.
Features
✅ Electric actuator ensures automatic flow control
✅ High precision discharge adjustment
✅ Reliable sealing to prevent dust leakage
✅ Supports remote control & PLC integration
✅ Suitable for cement, fly ash, lime powder, grain
✅ Heavy-duty design for long service life
✅ Optional limit switches, stroke control, and position feedback
✅ Compatible with silos, hoppers & screw conveyor feeding points
Applications
The Motorized Flow Control Gate Valve is ideal for:
✅ Cement Silos
✅ Fly Ash Storage Systems
✅ Bulk Powder Handling Lines
✅ Limestone Feeding Systems
✅ Clinker Discharge Units
✅ Automated Cement Plants
✅ Industrial Mixing Stations
✅ Dust Collection & Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Working Principle
The electric actuator drives the control gate to open or close the discharge outlet.
When the actuator receives a signal from the control system or PLC:
✅ The motor rotates the transmission mechanism
✅ The gate position changes (open / close / partial opening)
✅ The discharge volume is adjusted precisely
✅ The entire system operates automatically and continuously
✅ This ensures stable flow, prevents blockage, reduces manual operation, and improves system efficiency.
In bulk material handling systems, precise flow control devices play a critical role in ensuring stable and dust-free material discharge, as commonly defined in industrial material handling processes.

FAQs About Motorized Flow Control Gate Valves
What is a motorized flow control gate valve used for?
A motorized flow control gate valve is used to precisely control and regulate the discharge of bulk materials such as cement, fly ash, limestone powder, and other granular or powder materials. It is commonly installed under silos, hoppers, bins, and feeding systems in automated bulk material handling plants.
What is the difference between a motorized and pneumatic flow control gate?
A motorized flow control gate uses an electric motor for precise position control and is ideal for PLC-integrated automation systems. A pneumatic flow control gate operates using compressed air and is suitable for fast on/off control where electrical integration is not required.
Can the motorized flow control gate valve be integrated with PLC systems?
Yes. Motorized flow control gate valves are designed for seamless integration with PLC and automated control systems. They support remote control, position feedback, and precise flow regulation, making them suitable for modern cement plants and automated conveying systems.
What materials can a motorized flow control gate handle?
Motorized flow control gates are suitable for cement, fly ash, limestone powder, clinker fines, and other dry bulk materials. Carbon steel and stainless steel options are available for abrasive, high-temperature, or corrosive applications.
Is customization available for motorized flow control gate valves?
Yes. LVRUI provides customized motorized flow control gate valves based on installation position, inlet size, material characteristics, sealing requirements, and automation level. OEM sizes and special designs are available upon request.
