Metric In-Line Mount and Cross-Cut Mount Flush Style Intermediate Discharge Gates

Cut Trough Bottom for Gate Placement
1. Start by locating the center of the proposed discharge location. Dimension “A” shown
.
2. If holes cannot be aligned, new holes must be drilled in the trough side bottom flanges.
3. Dimension “B” would be 2413 mm (95") for in-line gates or 1163.65 mm (45.813") for cross-cut gates.
4. Center this dimension “B” around the point found with the dimension “A” and cut the bottom as
straight as possible on either side of the center.
5. Weld the extra angle iron flanges (3) provided with the gate to each trough bottom cut, as shown
in
, so that the gate can be bolted to each side. Stitch weld edges 51 mm (2") long with
38 mm (1-1/2") spacing.
6. Remove the burrs on the inside edge of the trough bottom.
7. Apply paint to welds on the outside of the trough.
