The SlipGate® is an undershot slide gate which has a number of unique features that make it superior to the traditional slide gate - especially when it is used for automated control.

SlipGate®
Advanced slide gate technology

Like the FlumeGate, the SlipGate® is playing an important role as a water control gate in the irrigation industry and large-scale open canal modernization projects.

The SlipGate® has also been rated for flow measurement when the site is fitted with Rubicon's MicronLevel water level sensors.

There are now in excess of 2,000 SlipGates® installed worldwide, mostly operating in continuous automated mode.

Many of these have been installed as control devices at the interface between a canal and pipe. Often these installations are in conjunction with a pipe flow meter.

The SlipGate® comes with the FormiPanel gate panel and a unique double-seal design. The sealing characteristics exceed AWWA leakage standards.

The SlipGate® employs the CableDrive mechanism necessary for precision control under automated operation.

The SlipGate® comes with a three sided seal for open canal applications or a closed four sided seal for pressure applications.

Like the FlumeGate, the SlipGate® is modular in design using standard Rubicon components and is simple to install.

The SlipGate® is designed for long life in the harsh environment of the irrigation industry and the high duty associated with automated operation.
