Veyron Valve Motorized Penstock: Precision Flow Control for Critical Infrastructure

Penstocks — also known as sluice gates — are the backbone of flow isolation in water treatment plants, wastewater facilities, hydropower stations, and flood control systems. At Veyron Valve, we engineer motorized penstocks that combine heavy-duty structural integrity with reliable, low-maintenance actuation — exactly what plant operators and EPC contractors demand.

The penstock showcased in our factory features an electric actuator with integrated gearbox mounted on a rigid rectangular frame, driving a threaded stem that raises and lowers the gate panel with smooth, controlled precision. This motorized configuration eliminates the manual effort required for large-diameter installations and enables remote or automated operation — a critical advantage in modern SCADA-monitored water infrastructure.

Construction and key specifications:

★ Frame and gate panel: Fabricated from carbon steel or stainless steel (304/316), with structural stiffeners to withstand full hydrostatic pressure.

★ Sealing system: EPDM or NBR seals on all four sides, achieving minimal leakage in compliance with AWWA C561 standards.

★ Actuation: Electric actuator with manual override handwheel, suitable for both on-off and modulating service.

★ Stem: Stainless steel threaded stem with corrosion-resistant coating, designed for submerged and humid environments.

★ Custom sizing: Available in widths from 200 mm to over 3,000 mm, with head pressure ratings matched to project specifications.

Every penstock undergoes factory pressure testing and dimensional inspection before shipment. Whether your project involves a municipal drinking water plant, an industrial cooling water intake, or a stormwater diversion scheme, Veyron Valve delivers penstocks that install reliably and operate dependably — year after year, cycle after cycle.
