The WP high-speed abort gate is designed to protect a downstream filter from a spark or, possibly, fire. The abort gate is activated by a spark detection system which directs sparks or fire away from a cyclone or filter. All abort gates include an electric actuator for resetting the gate after an abort event as mandated by NFPA.
The abort gate housing is heavily built, it includes access doors for maintenance and cleaning. A support structure must support the abort gate, when the gate drops, it is very fast and creates a lot of vibration. Adjustable seals keep the abort gate from leaking air or dust when the gate is in the ready position.
