APS - Electro-Pneumatic Shutter

The APS electro-pneumatic slide gate is designed for intercepting and controlling the flow of granular products within industrial plants.

Thanks to its electrically controlled pneumatic actuation, it guarantees fast operation, high reliability, and perfect integration into automated systems.

The guillotine closing system ensures precise linear movement of the shutter, allowing complete opening of the passage or effective shut-off of the flow, with high sealing efficiency and reduced product leakage. The use of the pneumatic actuator enables fast and repeatable cycles, ideal for continuous and heavy-duty industrial applications.

The APS is particularly suitable for installations beneath hoppers, silos, and conveying lines, where a compact, robust, and easily integrated solution within automation systems is required.
