Design Features

• Modular design allows for both Open Frame and Self- Contained configurations.
• Frame configuration options:
  – Square (standard)
  – Round & Rectangular
• Mounting configuration options:
  – Wall Mount (standard)
  – Curved Wall Mount
  – Embedded in concrete
• Option of Rising or Non-Rising stem configurations
• Design allows for elevated or flush bottom installation
• Suitable for actuation with manual, electric, pneumatic or hydraulic actuators
• HMWPE guides for seating and unseating heads, that reduce the friction coefficient during operation, minimizing therefore the actuation thrust and extending the seal life
• Self-cleaning HMWPE guides
• Machined slot for slide on guides to prevent “seesaw”
  effect when opening and closing the slide
• The unique seal design is self adjusting
• Slide ribs are designed to avoid crevice corrosion
• Seal and guides bolting is completely separated from the frame anchoring
• ORBINOX penstocks are factory assembled and tested eliminating the need for on site adjustment
• All gate fasteners are stainless steel

Industries

WTP, WWTP, Waterworks

Materials

Stainless Steel Type 304L or 316L (1.4306 or 1.4404)

Pressure and Temperature

up to 10 meters of water column

Size

From sizes 150 mm x 150 mm to 1200 mm x 1200 mm, the MU model has a unique seal design that can achieve minimal equal seating and unseating (bidirectional) leakage rates. Sizes 1300 mm x 1300 mm up to 2000 mm x 2000 mm are available in both uni-directional (only suitable for seating water heads) and bi-directional configurations

Connection

DIN 19569-4, (class 5) and AWWA C561 under normal conditions
