WACO Environmental Products
WACO Slide Gate Systems
WACO gate frames are welded for rigidly. Two channel bench rails are welded
to the top of the guide making the bench plate easy to remove without having to
remove the yoke. A stainless steel operating stem is attached to the plate with
an extruded aluminum connector, which in turn is bolted to the stem and welded
to the plate and top stiffener. This creates a one-piece constructed element
assuring trouble-free operation. WACO
has two advantages over other slide gate systems: Poly-Glide: an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plastic bearing bar used to
reduce friction in the opening and closing of the gates. Aluminum
Extrusion: designs that provide superior
strength and performance. For tougher
environments, WACO
offers 300 series stainless steel fabricated gates
WACO Weir Gate Systems
WACO manufactures weir gate systems with similar designs and features as
their slide gates.
Other Items
WACO fabricates manually cleaned bar screens, debris baskets and ladders.
Aluminum use around water
The use of aluminum around
water has proven to be quite efficient. Aluminum resists corrosion, is lightweight,
lower in cost, uniquely strong when extruded, and requires little maintenance. WACO also provides special coatings for their aluminum
products which can protect them from chemicals that may be harmful, thus
allowing WACO
products to be used throughout treatment systems both safely and economically.
