Conveyor gates, also known as conveyor gates or pop-up gates, are pivotal components within conveyor systems that provide controlled access points for material flow. These gates are designed to open and close, allowing items to be diverted or directed along different paths on the conveyor line. Conveyor gates play a crucial role in regulating the movement of items, facilitating selective sorting, accumulation, or distribution of materials with precision and efficiency.
American Surplus Inc. has used manual, powered, and spring-loaded conveyor gates in stock and for 40-60% less than the cost of buying new. Each of the three styles American surplus offers serves different and unique functions for various applications.
A manual conveyor gate, sometimes referred to as hinged gate conveyor, are available with either rollers or skatewheels depending on your preferences. These conveyor gates are typically affixed with a handle to make opening easy. Simply use the handle to pull up and raise the section of conveyor to allow passage.
Power and spring-loaded conveyor gates are essentially the same thing. Both feature a mechanism to allow for easier lifting with a mechanism allowing for simple spring-assisted maneuvering. This is useful as longer gated sections can become heavy and difficult to lift. The only real difference between power and spring-loaded is that a power conveyor gate features a section of powered conveyor instead of standard gravity.
American Surplus has dozens of used conveyor gates in stock to fit any conveyor system. All used equipment is tested and inspected prior to shipment to ensure that only the highest quality used items are sent to our customers.
