Pneumatic Flow Control Gate Valve for Cement Silos
(Katup Gerbang Kendali Aliran Pneumatik untuk Silo Semen)
Precise pneumatic discharge control for cement silos and bulk material handling
Overview
The Pneumatic Flow Control Gate Valve is a high-performance discharge control device used in bulk material handling systems. It is widely installed under cement silos, fly ash silos, and hoppers to regulate material flow with high accuracy and reliable sealing.
Driven by a pneumatic actuator, this gate valve ensures smooth opening and closing operations, preventing material leakage and ensuring continuous production efficiency. It and the motorized flow control gate are important components of modern cement plants and powder conveying systems.

Features
✅ Pneumatic-driven flow control for precise material regulation
✅ High sealing performance to prevent dust leakage
✅ Heavy-duty steel structure for long service life used in cement bulk handling systems
✅ Smooth slide plate for stable operation
✅ Suitable for cement, fly ash, limestone and powder materials
✅ Easy installation under silos and hoppers
✅ Low maintenance and energy efficient design
Applications
The Pneumatic Flow Control Gate Valve is widely used in:
✅ Cement Silos
✅ Fly Ash Storage Systems
✅ Bulk Powder Handling Lines
✅ Limestone Feeding Systems
✅ Clinker Discharge Units
✅ Industrial Mixing Plants
✅ Dust Collection and Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Working Principle
The valve operates through a pneumatic cylinder that drives the slide gate to open or close. When activated, the gate allows controlled discharge of bulk materials while maintaining consistent flow rate. When closed, the airtight structure prevents dust escape and material leakage.
This system significantly improves material handling efficiency and operational safety.
