Rack and Pinion slide gate

Overview:

• Rack and pinion slide gates work on the principle of a rack and pinion gear set to control the opening and closing of a slide plate. Due to their simple construction, these gates are reliable and suitable for use in applications that require infrequent use over long periods of time, such as in powerhouse and industrial settings. The grain industry also finds them popular due to their strength and simplicity, which makes them easy to install and use.

Application Area:

• Rack and pinion slide gates ranging from 600mm to 1200mm can be used to load trucks from small coal or rock bins. They are also useful as maintenance gates ahead of coal feeders, pulverisers, crushers, and alternate process systems. Additionally, they are a popular choice in the grain industry due to their strength and simple design.

Salient Features:

• Rack and Pinion Operation – A heavy-duty, reliable rack and pinion gear set is used to operate the slide plate.
• Heavy Duty Slide Plate - The slide plate is durable and capable of withstanding heavy loads.
• UHMW Retainers – UHMW retainers are used due to their durability and high release properties.
