Miner Enterprises Awarded Canadian Patent


GENEVA, Ill., July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- In conjunction with standing 42 x 42 AutoLOK(TM) II U.S. patents and Mexico patents, the Canadian Patent Office has recently awarded Miner a patent on their 42 x 42 AutoLOK II outlet gate.



The AutoLOK II is easy to open and close and stays locked. It features Miner's patented lost-motion mechanism system, which allows the opening force to be applied directly to open the slide door, reducing the risk of gate damage. The AutoLOK II meets all GEAPS and AAR S-233-92 specifications to improve unloading operations in a wide variety of demanding applications.



Because of its enlarged clear opening, the AutoLOK II unloads dried distillers grain (DDG) and dried distillers grain with soluables (DDGS) with ease. Miner also offers a 42 x 52 AutoLOK II to the DDG market.



Miner Enterprises, well known for its engineering and service excellence, is the largest and most experienced gate manufacturer in the world, with over 40 years experience and 750,000 gates in service.
