CC CHANNEL GATES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ORBINOX model CC Channel Gate is designed for
open channel installation with a highly versatile flow
control in waste water treatment plants, irrigation,
hydraulic works and hydro-electric power plants.

The sealing system is incorporated on both laterals and

bottom area of the slide, resulting in a perfect seal without
the need of wedges on the gate. From sizes 6”x 6”
(150mm x 150mm) to 140” x 140” (3500mm x
3500mm), the CC model has a self-adjusting seal design
for applications requiring accurate flow regulation and
optimum performance. The leakage rate on the ORBINOX
channel gate is lower than the maximum allowable
recommended by AWWA (C561) under normal
conditions.

The frame of the CC model is typically embedded in a

concrete channel for both uni-directional or bi-directional
sealing. ORBINOX can also offer different mounting
options such as wall mount and existing channel mount
where required. Our engineering team can also design
and manufacture the CC Channel Gate in larger
dimensions, and for higher service conditions while
maintaining a leakage rate below the allowable standard
from AWWA. For more information, please contact an
ORBINOX representative.

CONSTRUCTION DESIGN
The CC Channel Gate is manufactured in general
accordance with:
• AWWA C561
The standard CC model is manufactured in stainless steel
which has a higher corrosion resistance in many
applications which results into a longer life cycle with little
or no maintenance. Other materials of construction are
available upon request, such as AISI 904L, Duplex
stainless, etc.
