The AWMA DLF Penstock is a downwards opening weir style gate.
AWMA’s DLF Penstock range consists of downwards opening, decant weirs.
FEATURES
• Accurate overshot flow and upstream pool level control.
• The unique design keeps spindles out of the open water way to eliminate obstruction and maintenance issues.
• Bi-directional sealing optional.
• Single and dual spindle configurations available.
• Both rising and non-rising spindle configurations available.
• Custom designed and fabricated to suit any size or shaped orifice.
APPLICATIONS
• The DLF Penstock range is utilised for applications across all industry sectors.
• Isolation and flow regulation.
• Small to medium decanting applications.
DESIGN SUPPORT
• AWMA’s design team will provide full support to ensure the most appropriate solution is developed and specified during the preliminary design.
SIZES
• All AWMA water control gates are custom sized to ensure they meet specific site and operational requirements.
• Customisation reduces installation costs.
MATERIALS
• AWMA select materials to meet a minimum design life of 25 years. Where required, AWMA can offer higher grade materials, coatings and protection systems to extend the design life to 100+ years.
• AWMA use ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for penstock door guides and/or wedges to provide maintenance free bearing surfaces.
• Plasticised PVC or EPDM are used for the manufacture of seals. These materials offer superior endurance in wastewater and freshwater applications.
• Materials used for penstock door and frames include marine grade aluminium and grades 304, 316, 2205 and 2507 stainless steel.
• Materials used in the construction of the DLF Penstock range have a high corrosion resistance and can be operated for many years with minimal maintenance.
MAINTENANCE
• The DLF Penstock range has a minimum 25 year design life.
• Minimal maintenance is required offering low ‘whole of life costs’.
• If required, all the wearing components can be changed, with ease, on site.
QUALITY
• All stainless steel welding is continuous to avoid crevice corrosion.
• All procedures are in accordance with AWMA’s accredited ISO 9001 Quality Management System to ensure each gate is manufactured to a high standard, tested and ready for trouble free operation post approved installation.
