The following is a list of options, which your blender may have been equipped with:

Pneumatic Slide Gate below Mixer

The Slide Gate/Auger blending system can be equipped with an optional pneumatic slide gate below the mixing chamber. The gate is used in applications when the blender is mounted above a large hopper, or for gaylord filling, etc. This gate holds the material in the mixing section, to ensure that it is properly mixed. Control of the mixer function is described below, and is determined by the position of the “knife gate switch” located on the side of the back control panel.

WARNING! Slide gates create a pinch-point hazard.
