A slide gate valve is a type of valve that is designed to efficiently control free-flowing dry bulk materials like powders, granules, or pellets. This valve is typically installed at the outlet of dry bulk storage bins, silos, hoppers, chutes, mechanical conveyors, or other similar gravity discharge points. The Slide Gate valve provides the ease of cleaning directly by the pipe-clearing machine due to the diversion hole installed on the pipe. It can be used to regulate and throttle the flow of fluid if the seat is made into a V-shaped port and is guided closely to the gate. At TM Engineering, we provide high-quality and high-performance slide gate valves that are tailored to suit the needs of your application. Whether you need a manual slide valve or a more customised slide valve, you can count on us for all your valve needs.
Slide gate valves are used to control the flow of bulk materials, isolating or completely shutting off the flow. It can also be used in abrasive and harsh environments, like high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Here are a few industries where slide gate valves are commonly used:
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A slide gate valve is a type of valve that is designed to efficiently control free-flowing dry bulk materials like powders, granules, or pellets.
A manual slide valve is used where there is low maintenance and occasional flow control required. Food processing, cement plants, and agriculture storage systems typically use manual slide valves.
Slide gate valves are used to control the flow of bulk materials, isolating or completely shutting off the flow. They are commonly used in industries like Pharmaceuticals, Oil and gas industries, Food and beverage industries, Breweries, Textile Manufacturing, Mining, Agriculture, Water treatment, and Power plants.
