The Vortex® Aggregate Gate™ is designed to meet demanding applications handling material such as sand, gravel, whole grains, and coal. The narrow profile, choice of actuators, and custom rectangular sizes make this slide gate adaptable to most existing installations. Optional inlet or outlet flanges and dust return pans are available.
Ideal application: Similar in design to the Vortex® Titan Slide Gate™ but vastly different in scope, the Vortex® Aggregate Gate™ is ideal for handling larger-size, abrasive dry bulk solid materials in applications where fine materials and dusts are of less concern.
