In 2021 this customer was in the beginning phase of converting their pneumatic trailers to gravity trailers and was looking for a slide gate solution when they happened to see a Vortex Titan gate at a Frac Sand facility where they were providing services. Intrigued by the gate they asked the Frac Sand company about the equipment and found that the customer was very satisfied with their Vortex gates. The Frac Sand company suggested they reach out to Vortex for a solution. This customer contacted Vortex and initially trialed some Titan gates on their trailers. After a trial of the Titan gates the decision was made to use a custom Roller Gate instead to cut some weight. Vortex assisted by custom designing these roller gates that are used on the three outlets of each trailer. These gates are also sold with two air controllers so that they can be utilized from either side of the trailer.
