Vortex slide gates are designed and engineered with two main principals in mind.
Sluice gate manual actuator.
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.
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.
The usfs saved 185 00 by using wt s solar powered actuator instead of bringing out electricity to one site.
We have worked with municipalities utilities contractors consulting engineers and plant operators to solve their toughest design operation and application problems from all types of cast and fabricated gates to custom valves and actuation rodney hunt brings a.
Extend the service life of the valve and 2.
The universal actuator is designed to rotate input shafts on a variety of valve types including butterfly gate plug ball sluice and slide regardless of brand.
Perform maintenance without taking the valve out of line.
B bevel gear boxes suitable for mounting and operating rising spindle valves.
Actuators for sluice gates alternatives to commercially available products.
Since 1840 rodney hunt has pioneered safe and reliable flow control solutions in thousands of applications around the world.
Quarter turn manual actuator worm type.
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.
Correctly sizing the actuator is a key component in the design of a slide gate.
They are suitable for electric operation also.
Manual gear box for rising spindle sluice gate worm type b.

Since 1840 rodney hunt has pioneered safe and reliable flow control solutions in thousands of applications around the world.
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.
Bringing electricity to a remote location is extraordinarily expensive.
Wt s sluice and slide gate actuators are the only solar ready gate actuators on the market that retrofit to an existing gate without any modifications.
By simply rotating the unit 180ยบ a clockwise or counterclockwise output can be generated allowing either opening or closing functions the gp 6 also features horizontal operation.
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.
