Orbinox MU Manual

MODEL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Orbinox model MU is a 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 seal
design that can achieve minimal equal seating and
unseating (bidirectional) leakage rates. Sizes 52" x 52"
(1300mm x 1300mm) up to 80" x 80" (2000mm x
2000mm) 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
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 WW . For more information
please contact an Orbinox representative.
