Orbinox MU Manual

MODEL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ORBINOX model MU is a flush bottom 4 sided sealing slide
gate. The gates are suitable for different types of applications
with a highly versatile flow control for waste water treatment
plants, irrigation, hydraulic works and hydro-electric power
plants.
From sizes 6" x 6" (150mm x 150mm) to 48" x 48" (1200mm
x 1200mm), the MU model has a unique self adjusting seal
design that can achieve minimal equal seating and unseating
(bidirectional) leakage rates. Sizes 52" x 52" (1300mm x
1300mm) up to 160" x 160" (4000mm x 4000mm) are
available in both uni-directional (only suitable for seating water
heads) and bi-directional configurations.
The leakage rate is 50% or better of the maximum allowable
recommended by AWWA (C561) under normal conditions.
ORBINOX also designs and manufactures the MU Slide Gate in
larger sizes, for more demanding service conditions and
maintains a leakage rate below the allowable standard from
AWWA. For more information please contact an ORBINOX
representative.
