The Slide Gate Valve Assembly offered by us includes an operating assembly for facilitating the movement of a valve member within the machine, between a first closed position and a second open position. Also, a locking mechanism is mounted on the frame assembly to maintain the gate valve assembly. It needs to be maintained in its first closed position when the associated railway car is subjected to huge impact forces.

Some of the other important components of the machine are as follows:

•     Provided with a lock striker which can be moved longitudinally relative to the valve member. This action deactivates the locking mechanism while on the other hand, the valve member remains in its earlier closed position.
•     Also provided with an enhanced seal of barrier which prevents material from escaping
