Slide Plate Gate Key Specifications

Actuation

Manual rack-and-pinion for infrequent flux and additive hopper isolation; pneumatic cylinder for automated process integration in continuous material feed systems.

Sealing Type

Standard plate-to-frame seal for granular materials; low-leakage seals with UHMWPE wipers for fine flux powders and ferroalloy dust containment.

Seating Configuration

Hard seated for abrasive iron-bearing materials; soft seated with polymer wear strips for non-abrasive flux and additive applications at ambient temperature.

Port Shape

Square and rectangular ports for chute and hopper integration; circular ports available for pipeline connections in pneumatic additive injection systems.

Body Material

Mild steel frame with hardened slide plate; Hardox plate option for iron ore fines and sinter handling; stainless steel for chemical additive applications.

Size Range

Available from 100 mm to 800 mm for flux hopper outlets, ferroalloy feeders, and auxiliary material transfer points in steel and sponge iron plants.

Industrial Applications

Ferroalloy Hopper Discharge
Installed at ferroalloy storage hopper outlets to control precise additive feed to ladle furnace or induction furnace charging systems in steelmaking operations.
Sinter Plant Additive Feed
Mounted at flux and return fines hopper outlets to regulate material proportioning for the sinter mix preparation process in integrated steel plants.
Mill Scale Collection Hopper
Positioned at mill scale collection hopper discharge points in rolling mills to control scale removal to trucks or recycling systems for sinter plant reuse.
