Please note that this product was retired on October 1, 2005.
The Milltronics VG Series volumetric rate control gate is used for rate control in blending, batching, or loading operations. Its rugged features and precision position sensor help to improve plant efficiency. It is ideal for use with fractionated stone from 8 mesh to 4”, as well as sand, gravel, and coal blending operations.
The VG costs significantly less than traditional belt or vibratory pan feeders, and allows more feed openings and live storage area. The use of alternating feed points is possible, and segregation of materials is eliminated. With its reduced headroom (at least 20 % less than belt or vibratory pan feeders), the VG is readily fitted in new locations or retrofitted, and is easily cleaned. Motor wear, maintenance, and operating costs are minimised. Its built-in mechanical overload feature helps to prevent motor or speed reducer damage, and unlike belt and vibratory feeders, the VG motor runs only while the gate is being positioned.
The VG control gate comes in three standard sizes - 12 x 16”, 16 x 22” and 20 x 28” - with other sizes available.
