Slide Gate Valve for Silo and Hopper Discharge
(Katup Gerbang Geser untuk Pembuangan Silo dan Hopper)
Heavy-duty slide gate valve for reliable bulk material shut-off and flow control
Overview
Slide gate valves are widely used to control or isolate material flow at the outlet of silos, hoppers, screw conveyors, and belt conveyors in bulk material handling systems.
This type of discharge valve is designed for powders, pellets, and granular materials where reliable shut-off, minimal leakage, and stable operation are required.

How Slide Gate Valves Work
The valve regulates bulk material flow by opening or closing a sliding plate installed beneath the silo or hopper outlet.
When the plate moves, material discharge is precisely controlled while the reinforced sealing system minimizes leakage.
Manual, electric, or pneumatic actuators ensure stable operation in cement, fly ash, grain, and powder handling systems.

FAQs About Slide Gate Valve for Bulk Material Handling
What is a bulk material slide gate used for?
A bulk material slide gate is used to shut off or regulate the flow of bulk materials from silos, hoppers, and conveyor outlets, especially for powders and granular materials.
What materials are suitable for slide gate valves?
These valves are suitable for cement, fly ash, lime, grain, pellets, and other dry bulk solids.
What is the difference between a slide gate valve and a rotary valve?
A slide gate valve is mainly used for on-off or isolation purposes, while a rotary valve is designed for continuous feeding and metering.
Can gate-type discharge valves be used in pneumatic conveying systems?
Yes. When properly sealed, they are widely used at conveying line inlets and discharge points in pneumatic systems.
What actuation options are available?
Slide gate valves can be operated manually, electrically, or pneumatically depending on application requirements.
