Rod Gate for Silo and Hopper Discharge
(Pintu Geser Batang untuk Pengosongan Silo dan Hopper)
Reliable Slide Gate Valve for Bulk Material Handling
Overview
Rod gate valves are heavy-duty slide gate valves installed at silo and hopper outlets to regulate and isolate bulk material discharge. Designed for powder and granular materials such as cement, fly ash, clinker, slag, sand, and minerals, rod-operated gates provide stable flow control with minimal leakage and low maintenance requirements.
The reinforced frame structure and multi-rod driving mechanism ensure smooth opening and closing, even under high material load. Rod type gate valve solutions are widely applied in cement plants, mining operations, steel mills, power plants, and bulk material handling systems requiring reliable and controlled discharge.

FAQs About Rod Gate Valve
What is a rod gate valve used for?
A rod gate valve is used to control, isolate, or regulate the discharge of bulk materials from silos, hoppers, bins, and chutes. It is especially suitable for powder and granular materials such as cement, fly ash, clinker, and minerals.
What is the difference between a rod gate and a standard slide gate valve?
A rod gate valve uses a multi-rod reinforced structure to support the sliding plate, providing better strength and stability under heavy material load. Standard slide gate valves typically rely on a single plate structure and are more suitable for lighter-duty applications.
Can rod gate valves handle abrasive bulk materials?
Yes. Rod gate valves can be equipped with wear-resistant liners and reinforced sliding components, making them suitable for abrasive materials such as clinker, fly ash, sand, and mineral powders.
Are rod gate valves suitable for automated bulk material handling systems?
Yes. Rod gate valves are available with electric or pneumatic actuators and can be integrated into automated bulk material handling systems, working together with conveyors, feeders, and dust collection equipment.
