Push-Pull Slide Gates: A Quick, Reliable Solution for Manual Shutoff
22 May 2025  |
When speed and simplicity matter, Push-Pull Slide Gates by Lorenz Conveying Products offer an ideal solution for shutting off product flow manually—without the need for air or electric actuation. Engineered for durability and ease of use, these gates are designed to perform in gravity or vacuum conveying systems across a variety of dry bulk handling industries.

Whether you’re in food & pet food, plastics & packaging, grain milling, or chemical processing, this gate delivers fast, effective shutoff with minimal system disruption.

Purpose-Built for Simplicity and Control

Push-Pull Slide Gates serve a straightforward but essential purpose:
To manually shut off dry bulk material flow in vacuum or gravity applications—quickly and reliably.

This is especially useful in areas where compressed air or electrical supply isn’t practical or necessary. Operators can manually control product flow with ease, making this gate ideal for maintenance points, emergency shutoffs, or sectioned system isolation.

Key Features That Work Where You Need Them

✔️ 304 Stainless Steel Contact Points
For product safety, cleanliness, and resistance to wear, these gates feature 304 stainless steel where it counts—along all product contact surfaces.

✔️ Lightweight Aluminum Frame
Durable and corrosion-resistant, the aluminum frame offers easy installation and reduced system strain, without compromising structural strength.

✔️ Flexible Sizing
Available in sizes ranging from 2” to 12”, Push-Pull Slide Gates are adaptable to a wide range of system configurations.

✔️ Dust-Tight Seals
Maintain clean work environments and prevent product leakage with secure, dust-tight sealing built into every gate.

✔️ Temperature Tolerance
Standard units are rated up to 82°C (180°F), with high-temperature kits available for more demanding applications.

Why Push-Pull?

In facilities where power access is limited or automation isn’t needed, a manual shutoff gate becomes an incredibly valuable tool. Push-Pull Slide Gates offer the same quality construction and material compatibility as Lorenz’s automated solutions—without the complexity or cost of pneumatic or electric actuation.
