Description
Slide Gate – Water Flow Control and Protection
The slide gate is essential for controlling water flow and protecting against flooding, particularly in water treatment plants and open channels. This slide gate is crafted from reinforced steel plate, featuring rubber and stainless steel seals (AISI 316 or equivalent), designed to withstand high water pressures and ensure reliable sealing. The slide gate is highly flexible, allowing adjustments to meet specific site conditions.
This slide gate utilizes versatile operating systems, including single and double-acting hydraulic cylinders and an electric motor with a reducer. Its robust rollers facilitate smooth opening and closing even in unbalanced conditions.
Included with the slide gate are various accessories such as bypass systems, hydraulic units, electrical cabinets, and original spare parts. All stages of design, manufacturing, and final testing are carried out according to UNI EN ISO 9001 standards. The primary materials for the slide gate include S355J2G3 EN 10025 steel for structural elements, neoprene rubber for sealing, and A2-70 bolts for joint fixation. The slide gate can be customized and manufactured in a broad range of dimensions, with no restrictions on width and height.
Versatile Operating Systems :
- Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder: Opening by pressurized oil and closing by gravity;
- Double-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder: Opening and closing by pressurized oil;
- Electric Motor Coupled with Reducer and Vertical Rod;
- Special Operating System Defined and Agreed Upon with the Client
Possibility to Provide a Complete Set of Accessories:
