Gates
Temec
Temec, Capta Hydro’s strategic partner, offers high standard penstocks for a wide variety of applications, at reasonable costs.
FLAT GATES
Simpler, more robust and adaptable to different contexts,
ideal for intake and delivery control.
Size
Width between 400 and 2500mm, and height between 400mm and 5000mm.
Watertightness
3-sided or 4-sided watertight.
LOCATION OF THE SEALS
Upstream, downstream or double sealing.
LOAD SUPPORTED
Slide gate or wagon gate (for large sizes or high hydraulic load).
NUMBER OF SPINDLES
Single or double (in case its width/height ratio is greater than 2 or width greater than 2 meters).
Drive
Manual
By means of handwheel on spindle or with reducer and crank.
Motorized
With motorized lifting system and pushbutton panel. Compatible for future telecommand.
Telecommanded
Capta CFC system with remote control from Amaru software.
Automated
Capta CFC system with remote control from Amaru software, connected to downstream flow measurement.
RADIAL GATES
Gate that allows robust measurement of through flow, tolerating high hydraulic loads and high sediment levels.
Ideal for river intakes and final deliveries. Each of the radial damper alternatives is shown below according to the method of actuation.
Telecommanded Sector Gate
This family of gates allows to measure and control the channel flow accurately, being extremely robust to debris, high sediment and hydraulic loads, requiring a low level of maintenance. Ideal for intake gates and final deliveries that need to be integrated into the canal's automated delivery system (SIRA), available on the Capta Amaru platform.
Automatic float regulation according to downstream and upstream levels
A family of automatic regulation dampers, which allows the regulation of a flow set point, automatically regulated by its floats, without the need of an external energy source for its regulation. They can regulate upstream or downstream level between ranges determined by each gate.
Ideal for intake gates in rivers with high flow variation. Compatible with flow commands through Capta Amaru.
Automatic regulation of downstream levels.
Family of gates that allows the automatic regulation of downstream flows through the regulation of a counterweight and a float, allowing downstream level regulation without the need of an external power source.
Ideal for constant flow delivery channels that require a stable inlet flow, despite being in rivers with high flow variation. Compatible with telemetry for level and position measurement on Capta Amaru platform.
TOP FLAP DAMPERS
Gate that allows to measure the through flow. Ideal for final deliveries, intermediate control points and low sediment locations.
Level rise in natural channels and watercourses
Robust, reliable, efficient and adaptable.
Simple solution that allows for optional motorized or remote-controlled operation.
“The Capta Amaru software allows us to integrate all the data from the basin so that we can have a total visualization of the water allocations that are made in the river.”
