Sluice Gate / Penstock

Vens sluice gates (penstocks) isolate and control flow in open channels, chambers and tank openings. A stiffened gate leaf runs in guide channels and is raised or lowered by a threaded spindle and headstock.
Gates are supplied with a hand wheel or prepared for an electric actuator, and can be built in coated carbon steel or stainless steel with sealing to suit the duty.
