Slide gate assembly

A slide gate comprising:

• a gate body defining a first gate face and a second gate face;
• and
• an integral gate seal integrally formed with the first gate face, the integral gate seal comprising an additive material additively deposited on the first gate face, the integral gate seal defining a gate seating face;
• wherein:
• the integral gate seal comprises a first gate seal segment and a second gate seal segment parallel to the first gate seal segment, the first gate seal segment arranged proximate to a first lateral side of the gate body and the second gate seal segment arranged proximate to a second lateral side of the gate body;
• the first gate face of the gate body defines a plurality of gate rough regions formed at target locations on the first gate face;
• the plurality of gate rough regions comprise a first gate rough region proximate to the first lateral side and a second gate rough region proximate to the second lateral side;
• the first gate seal segment is integrally formed with the first gate face at the first gate rough region and the second gate seal segment is integrally formed with the first gate face at the second gate rough region;
• and
• the plurality of gate rough regions further comprise a lateral gate rough region proximate to an upper end of the gate body, the lateral gate rough region extending between the first gate rough region and second gate rough region, the integral gate seal further comprising a lateral gate seal segment integrally formed with the first gate face at the lateral gate rough region.
