Process for reusing slide gate plates and plate for this closure

摘要

The present invention concerns a plate for a slide gate with indentation. The plate is characterized in that it is asymmetric relative to its axes (XX, YY) so as to cooperate with a complementary form (34) of the indentations in order to define an aligning device that permits it to be mounted only in one position in the upper indentation (14) and in only one position in the lower indentation (18). The combination of both the plate and the slide gate permit efficient and safe recycling of the plates after a step of cleaning, repairing or reconditioning of the plate surface.
