In-Line Intermediate Discharge Gates

Install Gate Frame to Trough
1. Determine the existing hardware that must be removed to install the gate. Remove the hardware and
retain for re-installation.
2. Gates have slotted mounting flanges. Use the existing intermediate bottom holes and gate slots for
mounting. If no existing holes are available then new 7/16" holes will need to be drilled. The easiest
method is to match drill the gate flange to existing intermediate bottom holes or alternatively match
drill the intermediate bottom flanges to existing gate flange slots. Regardless of either method, a
maximum of 8" bolt spacing should be kept.
3. Install the gate to the intermediate using the removed hardware. The gate should be mounted so the
gate slide closes toward the conveyors head (discharge) section.
4. Adjust the carry-over bar frame so that the top of the carry-over bars are flush to the inside surface
of the intermediate bottom.
NOTE:
Failure to properly adjust the carry-over bar frame will cause severe damage to the chain
and/or gate.
