Slide Gates Are a Dry Bulk Conveying Solution—Built to Perform, Designed to Last.

15 May 2025  |
When it comes to reliable, high-performance flow control in dry bulk material handling, the BBH Series Slide Gate from Lorenz Conveying Products delivers exceptional functionality, flexibility, and durability across industries.

Whether you’re operating in food & pet food, plastics & packaging, grain milling, or chemical processing, this slide gate is engineered to shut off dry bulk conveying lines running under vacuum, dilute phase (up to 15 PSI), or gravity flow—safely and efficiently.

Purpose-Built for Performance

The BBH Slide Gate is designed with versatility in mind and can be installed horizontally or vertically (for vacuum and pressure lines). Its lightweight aluminum frame combined with robust contact materials—aluminum, carbon steel, or stainless steel—makes it a strong fit for a wide range of system requirements.

With sizes ranging from 1.5″ OD to 14″ OD and a variety of inlet/outlet configurations—including TPS (Tube & Pipe Stubs), LSP (Lightweight Stud Pattern), SB (Stud Bolt 150 lb. pattern), BBH (Blind Bolt Hole 150 lb. pattern), and BTV (Bolt Through Valve)—you get a highly adaptable component that integrates seamlessly into your existing setup.

Built for Control and Durability

The BBH Slide Gate features a stainless steel blade, paired with a PBL (Positive Blade Lock) that secures the blade between the actuator and the valve body. This means enhanced blade stability and reliable shutoff with every cycle.

The design supports unobstructed flow, helping to maintain product integrity by eliminating degradation and ensuring efficient transfer. Plus, the gate is temperature rated to 82°C (180°F), with high-temperature kits available for more demanding applications.

Actuation That Fits Your Process

From fully automated to manual operations, the BBH Slide Gate gives you options:

  • Pneumatic
  • Electric
  • Manual hand lever
  • Hand crank
  • Hand wheel
  • Chain wheel

And with an oversized air cylinder, you get the power you need to move the blade—even under heavy product flow—without compromising speed or control.
