Tech/Engineering - Agriculture / agriculture
German term or phrase: Schieber
part of an agricultural Streuer (spreader)- context:
"Die Scheiberöffnung des Streuers kann..verstellt werden, mit dem Vorteil, dass während der Fahrt die Ausbringmenge (von Streumaterial) verändert werden kann."
It is the device which controls the amount of spreading material which leaves the hopper to be distributed over the soil.
I thought something like gate or door..Is there a specific name for this part in English?

Thanks for all your help! I chose to nominate Beth as she provided excellent spreader references. Nevertheless, I managed to find out that the company in question perfers the term 'slide' for Schieber, which I will use here. I actually prefer gate and would have used that given the choice.

measuring gate


Explanation:
or dosing gate ("Dosierschieber")

These terms frequently came up when I translated texts relating to P+E in the mineral extraction sector (e.g. loading of sand and gravel onto wagons/lorries, where the amount of s+g is also to be determined at any given point in time).

gate valve


Explanation:
Gate valve is usually what I translate as Schieber.
Reference 1 is a (somewhat technical) definition matching your description.
Reference 2 shows a picture of a gate valve. Your's will look different, but the lower section will be similar.
