ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to a slide gate for use with an en-masse drag conveyor. The slide gate includes a frame adapted to be connected to the conveyor at a location adjacent to a discharge opening of the conveyor. The slide gate also includes a slide panel moveable between a closed position in which the panel is adapted to close the discharge opening, and an open position in which the panel is adapted to be retracted from the discharge opening. The slide gate further includes a moveable support structure adapted for supporting a chain of the conveyor. When the slide panel is moved to the open position, the support structure moves to a first position in which the support structure is adapted for supporting the chain as it traverses the discharge opening. When the panel is moved to the closed position, the support structure moves to a second position in which the support structure is located below the slide panel.
