Usage functions
Guillotine gates are the simplest adjustable hydraulic barrier system used to control water flow and its relative discharge. They can be operated manually or by motorized actuation.
Guillotine gates can be installed in channels or on walls. They are used in wastewater treatment plants when it is necessary to intercept and regulate the flow of water.

Construction Features
Circular wall-mounted guillotine gates consist of a stainless steel frame (gargame) that is fixed to the wall using expansion anchors or embedded in a channel. They also include an actuation group that operates the sliding part, known as the shield, which is also made of stainless steel. The shield moves on low-torque guides. Sealing is ensured by a system composed of wedges and counter-wedges, along with EPDM seals (musical note-shaped profile) compliant with DIN 19569 standards.
