STF Filters’ CCA and CAD channel penstocks are designed to stop fluid flow in open ducts as long as the gate height is not exceeded. Built in AISI-304L stainless steel by default, they are also available in carbon steel, AISI-316L, duplex, or superduplex options for enhanced strength and adaptability. They provide three-sided sealing—bottom and sides—typically unidirectional, with bidirectional sealing optional. Featuring EPDM or NBR self-adjusting dual-lip gaskets and PE-HMW sliding guides, they ensure low-friction operation and prolonged durability. Spindles can be rising or non-rising, with manual, pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuation. Sizes range from 200x200 mm to 2000x2000 mm. Certified under DIN 19569-4 and AWWA C561-04, with ACS sanitary certification available. Installation can be embedded in concrete or wall-mounted, fitting a variety of civil works.
