Introduction
The roller gates are designed to control flow through large waterway openings where economy and ease of operation are crucial. They can be designed as either upward or downward opening.
Description
A roller or fixed wheel gate consists of a fabricated steel slide with cast iron rollers and rubber seals. The gate leaf is a box-like design of welded construction. It varies in width and height as required by the size of the opening in the concrete and varies in thickness depending on the depth of water. Recesses at the sides of the gate opening are provided with rails and with contact faces for side seals.
