Slide Gates & Flow Control Solutions

Precision Control for Every Application

At O’Mara Ag Equipment, we understand that gates are the heartbeat of a material handling system. Whether you’re batching, feeding, scaling, or diverting product, reliable gate performance is critical. That’s why we engineer and manufacture slide gates that go beyond the industry standard—designed to deliver clean, consistent, and safe material flow, no matter the application.

• Pneumatic Slide Gates
• Linear Actuated Slide Gates
• 2-Stage Bulk Dribble Gates
• Ladder Gates
• Air Diverter / Dampers
• Y/K Diverter Valves

Let us configure a solution tailored to your plant, product, and production goals.

Types of Gates

Rack & Pinion (R&P) Slide Gates

Rugged and reliable, our R&P gates are a trusted choice for grain, seed, and other bulk solids. Ideal for hoppers, bins, and conveyors, these gates offer:

• Smooth manual control
• Tight sealing with UHMW liners
• Minimal product damage
• Low maintenance operation

Pneumatic Slide Gates

Perfect for automation, our pneumatic gates use compressed air to open and close with speed and precision. Commonly used for:

• Metering grain into mixers
• Bagging and bulk filling systems
• Emergency shutoff control

Linear Actuated Slide Gates

When precision matters, linear actuators deliver. Our electric linear actuated gates allow for:

• Variable flow control
• Automated batching and blending
• System integration with weight-based metering

2-Stage Bulk Dribble Gates

For fast bulk filling with accurate final weights, our 2-stage gates:

• Start with a rapid bulk feed
• Shift to a controlled dribble finish
• Help eliminate overfills and material waste

Ladder Gates

Ideal for grain production, ladder gates offer stepwise flow control by opening one “rung” at a time. Perfect for:

• Coarse metering
• Multi-product layering
• Sampling or airlock regulation

Air Diverters & Y/K Valves

Redirect flow with confidence. Our air diverters and Y/K valves are designed for vacuum or pneumatic conveying systems and excel at:

• Splitting or converging material streams
• Enhancing system flexibility
• Reducing downtime with precise material routing

Applications Across Industries

Our gates serve a wide range of agricultural industries, including:

• Seed and grain
• Animal feed
• Pet food
• Agricultural packaging applications

Whether you’re controlling seed flow from a bin, batching powdered additives, or diverting popcorn between silos, O’Mara has a gate solution for you.
