Headboard for Sluice System 10cm

The head part is the heart of the Sluice System. It includes two universal connections on each side as well as the connection for a hopper box. Although this is not absolutely necessary for the operation, the operation of the system without hopper appears to be of little use. The main part is to connect the different material flows (especially "clean" water from the volume pump as well as the material from the hopper), where the material can either be introduced via a jet pump or fed via the inlet via a manual feed The task is to soothe the water as well as possible in order to ensure a smooth transition to the wash-out channels, eg the water valve with its possibility to provide a flow booster or an additional weight.

In the picture above all important functions are summarized again:

• Universal port: This port is intended for connections to additional components of the washout system. Below the water valve are these sluice bodies, on the other hand this can either be a sluice body or the adapter for the frame or funnel. So you are very flexible with this system, which is the basic idea of the whole system.
• Water valve with clamp: This serves to stabilize the water flow as well as within limits of its regulation.
• Hopper centering plates: The centering plates guide the hopper's water into the middle of the gutter and prevent the material from being deposited in the dead water zones of the head part. At the same time, the top edge of the centering plates is also the hopper box.

Here is a tutorial how to open and close the universal connection (2.5MB, print version, german).

The water flap

The water damper soothes the flow, but it also distributes it over the entire cross-section of the channel. A "soft" material can not afford this, it needs a mechanical edge. The flap may be fixed to the knurl, e.g. To generate a certain starting speed, or the flap is opened and then slides over the surface. This is useful, since most pumps do not generate a constant water flow and the jet pumps in their water volume are strongly linked to the current pumping situation. To further improve this effect, additional weights (e.g., washers) may be attached to the holes of the clamping member to adjust the pressure on the surface of the water depending on the angle of adjustment of the chute. The clamping part serves to clamp mats or other soft softening parts. These have the task above all of eliminating air bubbles and reducing the flow velocity at the surface.

Options for header

screw connection

The following options are available for the screw connection :

• Normal : The header is shipped as shown. Anyone wishing to solve the centering plates, for example, Has flipped a funnel and also feeds material into the funnel, has to reach the tool (M4)
• Knurling Kit: It's easier with the knurling kit: four M4 knurled nuts, four M4 cylinder head washers and eight 4mm stainless steel washers. Now the centering plates can be changed without tools and also the clamping part of the water damper can be converted to knurls. This means that you are quickly equipped everywhere.
• Double pack knurling kit: Two knurling packs are supplied, which can be used to convert centri plates and the clamping part of the water damper. Two knurls then remain in reserve (for example, for universal connection).

smoothing mat

The following options are available for the smoothing mat :

• Without mat : The water damper is supplied with clamp and cylinder head bolts, but without additional mat. If necessary, this can be made of soft, floating (!) Material.
• Moosgummimatte A piece of moss (color can be changed!), With the approximate dimensions 10cm width and 30cm length. This can be clamped under the water flap and serves to soothe the flow. We recommend! But everyone swears for a different material, so only as an option.
