Slide & Diverter Gates

The flap diverter utilizes an interior, angled blade to divert material flow from one source to two, three, or more destinations A knife gate valve is a component that utilizes a blade to cut through clogging of heavy liquids; whereas a slide gate valve is a component, Diverter Gates consist of a pivoting gate blade located inside an inverted Y-shaped housing. The gate blade can be positioned to divert bulk materials to either side of the housing. The gate blade can be moved by manual, pneumatic, electric or hydraulic means, KWS Slide Gates are used to control the discharge of bulk materials from hoppers, bins, silos or conveyors. Slide Gates consist of a rigid frame with a slide plate located inside that opens and closes against the flow of material. The slide plate can be actuated by manual, pneumatic, electric or hydraulic means, Sluice gates only seal on one side, typically a cast iron gate with brass "wedges" that force the face of the gate against the frame where a brass face on the frame and gate seal against eachother. On a slide gate typically made of stainless steel, a flat plate "gate" slides inside two channels in the frame.
