About our slide gate valves

Coperion slide gate valve ranges are essential components for controlling the flow of powders, granules, and delicate bulk materials in food and pharmaceutical processing. Designed for precise on/off operation, these valves help manufacturers manage material flow efficiently while maintaining hygienic production standards and preventing cross-contamination.

What is slide gate valve component for?

Slide gate valves are primarily used to start, stop, or isolate the flow of bulk materials within processing systems. They are ideal for controlled discharge from silos, hoppers, and bins. By providing safe and hygienic handling of powders and granules, these valves support consistent product quality and efficient operations.

Key Features:

• Hygienic design for contamination-free operation
• Precise on/off flow control for safe handling
• Durable construction for abrasive and fine powders
• Dust-tight sealing to prevent leakage
• Compact and modular for easy installation
• Low maintenance and easy cleaning

Coperion slide gate valves are trusted by food and pharmaceutical manufacturers for safe, reliable, and hygienic material handling.

Select the right slide gate valve for your needs

Choosing the appropriate slide gate valve depends on material type, flow characteristics, and production requirements. For example, powders that are highly abrasive or cohesive may require a valve with reinforced construction or specialized sealing. Additionally, valve size, actuation method, and hygiene standards should align with your production system to ensure optimal performance
