The A71 outlet gate is commonly referred to in the industry as a 13” x 42” DDG gate. With an opening size of 24” x 48” this gate is available in both a 32 or 64 bolt hole pattern, while bolting to a 13” x 42” nominal bolting flange. Typically ATP recommends this gate to convert pneumatically unloaded plastic pellet cars to a gravity unloading process for DDG service. Along with the standard AEROgate features, additional options are available.
