The Slide Gate Valve VL is a high-performance industrial valve designed to control the flow of dry bulk materials such as powders, pellets and granules in gravity-fed systems. It uses a flat sliding blade that moves horizontally to start or stop material flow — ideal for silos, hoppers, bins, chutes and conveyor outlets in cement, food, plastics, chemical and mineral processing plants. Unlike traditional liquid valves, this valve is engineered for bulk solid applications, offering dust-tight sealing and easy handling. VL Slide Gate Valves come with options for manual, pneumatic or electric actuation, making them suitable for both basic and automated systems. This valve’s simple but rugged construction reduces maintenance and ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments
