Pneumatic Sliding Gate Valve – General Overview

Pneumatic sliding gate valves are flow control devices used in mills and grain processing plants to automatically control, divert, or completely stop product flow. Instead of the traditional rotary blade design, they use a sliding plate with linear movement, ensuring a tight and reliable seal. This design provides excellent isolation even for fine materials such as flour, preventing cross-contamination between product lines.

Advantages and Automation Integration

Compared to manual alternatives, pneumatic sliding gate valves offer faster, more consistent performance and higher efficiency. They can be operated remotely in hard-to-reach areas and easily integrated into central automation systems for full process management. As a result, labor savings, operational efficiency, and process safety are significantly improved.
