GENERAL DESCRIPTION

nnnn

The Orbinox model MU is a 4 sided sealing penstock. The

nnnn

gates are suitable for different types of applications with

nnnn

a highly versatile flow control for waste water treatment

nnnn

plants, irrigation, hydraulic works and hydro-electric

nnnn

power plants.

nnnn

From sizes 150 mm x 150 mm to 1200 mm x 1200 mm,

nnnn

the MU model has a unique seal design that can achieve

nnnn

minimal equal seating and unseating (bidirectional)

nnnn

leakage rates. Sizes 1300 mm x 1300 mm up to 2000 mm

nnnn

x 2000 mm are available in both uni-directional (only

nnnn

suitable for seating water heads) and bi-directional

nnnn

configurations. The maximum leakage rate is lower than

nnnn

the maximum allowable recommended by DIN 19569-4

nnnn

(class 5) and AWWA C561-04 under normal conditions.

nnnn

Orbinox also designs and manufactures the MU model

nnnn

penstock in larger sizes, for more demanding service

nnnn

conditions.
