The Vortex Quick Clean Gate is the first slide gate to be USDA Dairy Standard-accepted. It can be disassembled and reassembled in a matter of minutes – without using any tools.
Ideal application: Sanitary dry bulk solid material handling applications that require frequent “Clean out of Place.” The Vortex® Quick Clean Gate™ can be washed down daily, during shift change, or on any other regular cleaning or sanitation schedule. This eliminates potential for microorganisms, spoilage and bacterial growth.
