1-11-2 Slide Gate Metering Assemblies

Air operated slide gates are provided to meter the majority of pellet ingredients on the SGB blender.

Important! The metering range assumes 1/8” diameter free-flowing plastic pellets weighing approximately 35 lbs./cu. ft. This is meant to be an approximate sizing recommendation and can vary with different bulk density resins, pellet configuration, etc.

A stroke limiter (included) can be installed on the metering gates to limit their travel. This device decreases the stroke of the gate and reduces the metering orifice of the valve. The unique diamond gate provides a square opening at any stroke length, providing more consistent flow from smaller valve openings than conventional slide gates. This stroke limiter may be necessary to accurately meter low percentage ingredients.

The air cylinders operating the slide gate are rugged, stainless steel cylinders designed for industrial use.

DIAMOND GATE OPEN

The unique Sterling diamond gate provides a constant aspect opening that remains square regardless of the stroke length of the cylinder. This design provides a wider cross sectional opening when approaching a closed position, and provides better flow of plastic pellets out of the opening.

DIAMOND GATE 3/4 CLOSED

WARNING!

Slide gates create a pinch-point hazard.

Always disconnect and lockout all electrical power and pneumatic (i.e. compressed air) sources prior to servicing or cleaning any blender, including all SGB Series models. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
