Benefits and flexibility of the Valve Assembly and Sidewinder with the Gentle Roll
The Valve assembly and Sidewinder Conveyor that can be used in conjunction with the Gentle Roll Cleaner/Sifter brings a flexibility that is unmatched by any other screener in the industry. With a 2 way valve under each screening section, the operator can choose which discharge to send each separation. Primarily this has been used in the feed industry when running pellets, crumbles, and cubes. This gives the operator the ease of switching all gates to one side to remove fines from cubes, and to direct the fines from pellets and crumbles to one discharge and the good product to the other. A by-pass can be added as an option to all screen sections or just one, to allow product to by-pass the conveyor altogether. The gates can be powered manually, air actuated or electric actuated. There are far too many options to list as we can accomodate almost anyones specific needs. The Valve Assembly is also used by many customers without the Sidewinder Conveyor. Any two conveyors can be mounted under the Valve Assembly to handle the product. This video shows the end view (overs gate) and how the conveyor is moving in both directions.
