The Vortex® Rounded Blade Gate™ is designed to meet the most demanding applications when handling heavy-duty abrasive materials. The RBG Gate handles dry material in gravity flow applications where positive material shut-off and dust-tight sealing is required. The design of the gate allows for rapid actuation to quickly start and stop material flow and makes it a good choice for dry bulk applications that require metering.
Ideal application: Above a storage bin or loadout station. Often used to meter flow and hold back large heads of material.
