New Shut-Off Slides from Game Engineering

Almost since the company’s formation, GAME Engineering has had a policy of manufacturing as much of a process system themselves as is practical. This is easily done because they have their own extensive factory with state-of- the- art metal-working machinery and a highly qualified, dedicated staff.

The type of machinery that Game Engineering routinely manufactures – for their own use and for other system providers - includes paddle and ribbon mixers, rotary sieves, micro-ingredient weighment systems and a self-clean bucket elevator boot. The latest product from Game Engineering is a series of electro-pneumatic Shut-Off Slides which can be fitted to bins, silos, screw conveyors and belt conveyors.

Manufactured from either coated mild steel or stainless steel, the entire system is completely sealed and is totally dust and moisture proof. Actuation of the slide is by a solenoid and there is a choice of single or double heavy duty, double acting cylinders for activating the slide itself. Each Shut-Off Slide is delivered pre-wired to a junction box with external compressed air fittings already fitted. There are six sizes in the range; 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, 350mm and 400mm.

Adam Conroy is the Project Sales Director at Game Engineering: “Whenever economically viable, we will always manufacture components for process systems ourselves. And, where we feel that there is a market for these products, we will offer them to other system providers which helps to cover the cost of design and development. Manufacturing products ourselves enables us to retain complete control over quality and design and should we need a product – a Shut-Off Slide for example – with slightly different dimensions we can manufacture it in our factory which saves time and usually, quite a lot of money .”
