In food processing operations, controlling the discharge and dosing of bulk materials is the foundation of production efficiency. ILCHMANN Fördertechnik slide gates provide reliable shut-off for products such as grain, flour, sugar, cereals, spices, milk powder, and confectionery additives, guaranteeing the hygiene and integrity of logistical operations.
These slide gates are specifically adapted to meet the stringent requirements of food processing plants. They are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel and equipped with FDA-compliant seals that meet HACCP standards. Installed under bins, silos, mixers, or pneumatic conveyors, these gates ensure controlled product release and safe flow shut-off in technological lines.
Thanks to a design free of “dead zones” and a system of adjustable seals, they prevent the accumulation of product residue and bacterial growth, while also eliminating the leakage of fine dust (such as powdered sugar or flour). For facilities with a high risk of explosive dust concentrations, an ATEX-certified version is available, ensuring total safety of the production cycle.
Depending on the automation level and installation conditions, slide gates are divided into three main types:
– Manual: The simplest and most reliable solution. Actuation is performed via a handwheel or a chain wheel for gates located at significant heights.
– Pneumatic: Equipped with pneumatic cylinders for instantaneous and powerful channel isolation. This is the standard for automated lines requiring rapid response.
– Electric: Provides smooth movement of the slide plate. Integrated position indicators allow for both flow shut-off and precise product dosing in intermediate positions.
