Orifice slide gate
Food-grade orifice slide gates
for powders & granules
Controls gravity flow discharge
K-Tron orifice slide gates provide precise control of gravity flow discharge from storage bins and hoppers. Designed for food industry applications, these gates ensure hygienic, reliable, and maintenance-friendly operation, making them ideal for powders, granules, and pellets.
Benefits:
- Unobstructed opening for positive material shut-off
- Handles powders, pellets, and granular materials
- In-line serviceable to minimize downtime
- Mechanically self-cleaning design
- Closes reliably through standing columns of material
- Suitable for food-grade and non-food-grade applications
This valve is compatible with plastics, chemicals, and mineral processing applications. For more details, please visit the orifice slide gate page on the Coperion performance material website.

Unobstructed material flow
When fully open, the gate blade is completely removed from the control opening, allowing material to pass freely without resistance. This ensures smooth and efficient flow for powders, pellets, and granular materials.
Suitable for vacuum & pressure systems
Orifice slide gates are ideal for vacuum and pressure dilute-phase conveying applications, providing reliable control while maintaining production efficiency.
Durable and service-friendly design
These gates are compact, durable, and designed for easy servicing. In-line maintenance minimizes downtime and supports uninterrupted production.
