Aggregate Control Aggregate control faces some unique challenges not found with other material handling applications. Aggregate control components are subject to harsh operating conditions due to often abrasive, heavy and large size product passing through them. These conditions require specialized valves and gates which are designed and constructed to withstand the harsh working environment.

Gates

At the most basic level, a gate is an object which permits passage into or through an enclosure.  Gates as they apply to pneumatic conveying/material handling are no different.  At the most basic level, Gates open and close a path of material flow.  The most effective means of accomplishing this task is through the use of a sliding blade which moves across the gate opening to block the path of material flow.  The most basic gates are simply just this.
