In waste processing, controlling the discharge and dosing of bulk materials is fundamental to productivity. ILCHMANN Fördertechnik slide gate valves provide reliable isolation for products such as solid municipal waste (SMW) and plastics, as well as waste paper, cullet, rubber crumbs, and shredded scrap metal, ensuring the integrity of logistical operations.
Slide gates are specifically adapted for the demanding conditions of recycling plants. Installed under chain conveyors, bucket elevators, feeders, bins, or silos, they provide controlled product discharge and safe flow shut-off. Thanks to an adjustable sealing system, they prevent the leakage of fine dust—a critical factor when handling waste. For facilities with a high risk of dust explosion, ATEX-compliant versions are available to ensure complete production cycle safety.
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.
