Slide Gate Design Standards
KWS Pneumatic Slide Gate Standard Construction
KWS standard pneumatic slide gate cylinders operate most effectively when supplied with 80 psi of clean and dry air. The standard design slide gates are not designed to be operated under a head load; however, hopper/silo discharge slide gates can be engineered to meet your specific application.
