Here's its definition:
A type of gate commonly used on bins and silos to control the material flowing out of them. Clam gates typically consist of two gates that swing over a curved opening to shut off the flow. The clam gate on a cold feed bin usually has a single gate at the opening in the bottom of the bin. It is adjustable and can be set to maintain the desired flow rate.
Here are examples of use:
- The clam gate on a cold feed bin usually has a single gate at the opening in the bottom of the bin.
- When the batcher is full the cylinder-operated clam gate opens.
- Mix drops through the rapid-opening clam gate into the silo and flattens on impact.
Translation for gate is: registre
Translations I know for clam(shell) that could work here are: à mâchoires, à demi-coquilles.
I would need the official term please, no guesses.
Thanks for your help.

PROPOSITION, MASC
EX – A special hopper is equipped with a clam gate which releases material to the weight hopper. Source, fiche 1, Exemple d’utilisation 1 - clam gate
OBS – Proposition de M. Louis Wauters, traducteur de la section Plans et Devis du Bureau de la traduction à Montréal. Source, fiche 1, Observation 1 - obturateur à mâchoire
OBS – Grand contexte : Fabrication d'asphalte avec des matériaux recyclés à l'aide d'un four tournant. Ce «clam gate», appelé ainsi parce que sa forme rappelle celle du mollusque «clam», servirait à permettre ou à bloquer le passage des granulats vers la trémie de déchargement. Cet obturateur a la forme d'une benne preneuse (en anglais «clamshell bucket»). On peut avancer que les deux segments qui la composent rappellent la forme d'une mâchoire, d'où la proposition.
