Kinetrol USA has designed an innovative gate opening system for a foundry located in the mid-West. Safe access over a conveyor is required over a ramp to allow personnel to act flexibly. A pneumatic gate and ramp system is required to open and close two steel gates. The opening and closing would be controlled by a simple hand-switch on the ramp railing.
Two Kinetrol vane actuators are mounted under and on each side of the ramp. These actuators are equipped with driveshafts, which help open and close the steel gates.
