Sluice gate
Our type 2, 3, and 4 sluice gates are all based on the same well thought-out design principle. Every one of our sluice gates is custom-made with great care. Thanks to the circumferential transverse seal and double scraper, our sluice gates are much tighter than the standard prescribes – and are tight in both flow directions.
-
Material-optimized design for casting in recesses or for doweling in with different mounting options.
-
Seal with NBR, flush to the bottom, circumferential, easy to replace, transverse seal with double scraper.
-
Reinforced gate, adapted to the required water pressure.
-
The robust cross yoke can be used for a wide variety of actuator types.
-
Bottom profile flush with the bottom and has a reinforcing rib.

Custom made down to the last millimeter
Our water control gates require highest precision and a lot of manual work. From cutting to size to drilling, welding and assembly, we put around 10 hours of work into a single valve.
-
Individual profile
Our sluice gates are available in as many versions as there are requirements. Whether sealed on 3 or 4 sides, dowelled or set in concrete, with a straight base profile or - as shown in the picture - with a round base.
-
Massive control gates for large masses of water
Our sluice gate type 2 is always used when especially large amounts of fluids must be shut off. The gate has a thickness of 12 mm and is additionally reinforced for a maximum head of water of 5.5 m. Two of these sluice gates will soon be installed in a wastewater treatment plant in Switzerland where they shut off the main inlet whenever necessary.

Made to measure from design to installation
In Switzerland alone, many thousands of Wey water control gates are in operation - one for every 500 inhabitants. Each one is individually made to measure and installed by our experienced service team. Just like this sluice gate in a street wastewater treatment plant in Geneva.

Helicopter assembly
For a dam in Switzerland our service team recently installed two water control gates in a gorge. The gorge is only accessible via a 600 m long tunnel. Our sluice gates were therefore flown to the site by helicopter.
