Titan Slide Gate Handling Colored Sand
Titan Slide Gate Handling Colored Sand Client: Shingle manufacturer – Midwest USA Size: 4 in | 100 mm Weight: 60 lb | 25 kg (without actuator) Application: Multiple gates were ordered and are being used to meter different colors of sand onto a conveyor belt before they are transported to a blending process. Features: Square-to-square inlet transition with a tapering, diamond-shaped interior. Transition is constructed from 400 Brinell Hardness Number (BHN) abrasion-resistant steel.V-notched blade constructed from 400 BHN abrasion-resistant steel. Results: The abrasion-resistant steel addresses the abrasive properties of sand. The diamond- shaped inlet transition and the V-notched blade work in tandem to provide precise metering of each sand color, so that subsequent production runs will cr
