The usfs saved 185 00 by using wt s solar powered actuator instead of bringing out electricity to one site.
Sluice gate manual actuator.
Vortex slide gates are designed and engineered with two main principals in mind.
Waterman cast gates are preferred for high head up to 200 and high debris water treatment environments as well as for critical gateways in treatment plants.
B bevel gear boxes suitable for mounting and operating rising spindle valves.
Fluid power operated sluice gates usually employ a linear pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder with the piston rod as part of the gate stem to raise and lower the gate.
There are several different options available for actuating a slide gate including pneumatic cylinders electric linear and rotary actuators hydraulic cylinders and manual hand and chain wheels.
Waterman heavy duty cast iron slide sluice gates are used in applications where safety and reliable performance are essential dams tidal environments water treatment plants and where outstanding product longevity is desired.
Ideal for handling dry bulk material in gravity flow dilute phase or dense phase pneumatic conveying applications.

Vortex valves serve many industries including chemical cement coal food.
Water conservation offices of usbr mid pacific region and yuma offices.
Perform maintenance without taking the valve out of line.
Since 1840 rodney hunt has pioneered safe and reliable flow control solutions in thousands of applications around the world.
Actuators for sluice gates alternatives to commercially available products.
Quarter turn manual actuator worm type.

These are thrust taking maximum thrust 1000 kn.
Bringing electricity to a remote location is extraordinarily expensive.
Correctly sizing the actuator is a key component in the design of a slide gate.
Extend the service life of the valve and 2.
The thrust generated by the cylinder can be replicated by substituting a multi turn electric actuator with a new acme threaded segment of the gate stem figure 2.
