Dependable end of line design. Contact watch technologies now for cutting edge solutions that will save you time and money. Water conservation offices of usbr mid pacific region and yuma offices. 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.

So reliable it s legendary. The usfs saved 185 00 by using wt s solar powered actuator instead of bringing out electricity to one site. Sluice gates are true end of line valves designed to hold back water with minimal leakage in applications ranging from drainage pipes to effluent ponds to distributor boxes. Bringing electricity to a remote location is extraordinarily expensive.

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. Since 1840 rodney hunt has pioneered safe and reliable flow control solutions in thousands of applications around the world. 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.
