ASK-Weir

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ASK-Weir is an automated float-controlled gate weir designed to maintain constant impoundment depths and activate additional storage volume. It is a mechanical water surface regulator that operates without external energy, ensuring operational safety and durability even in backwater situations.
Features:
  • Maintains constant water levels with a control hysteresis of 3 cm.
  • Operates without external energy sources.
  • Corrosion-resistant structure made of stainless steel or GFK.
  • Handles large flows up to 30 m³/s per weir.
  • Retains floating solids through underflow design.
  • Provides system-based flood protection up to the impoundment level.
Applications:
  • Detention and retention basins
  • Treatment plants
  • Pump and lift stations
  • Locks, reservoirs, and water courses
  • Hydro-electric plants
  • Flood control
Benefits:
  • Activates and optimizes retention volumes.
  • Allows for smaller, more compact structures due to high hydraulic throughput.
  • Ensures low maintenance and reliable system technology.
  • Offers a construction kit format for economical and affordable solutions.
Special Features:
  • Forced regulation of water surface through a separate float chamber.
  • Bearings located outside the medium to minimize maintenance.
  • Optional variable impoundment depths with adjustable sluice gate.
  • Conversion to ESK-Weir with minor parts exchange.
  • Automated flow logging and operations monitoring available.
  • 5-year manufacturer warranty.
Technical Support: Design support, sizing, dimensioning, and CAD files are available through the Weir Designer at the Service Center on the company's website. Facility support and maintenance services are also offered.

ASK-Weir This is how the ASK-Weir works: The ASK Weir opens and closes controlled by the float. After the impoundment depth is reached, water enters the float chamber. The resulting float buoyancy opens the gate proportional to the incoming flow. This way, the impoundment depth is maintained at a constant level at every possible flow. Therefore, the retention volume is utilized to the fullest. Activation and better use of retention volumes Smaller, more compact structures possible due to high hydraulic throughput Floating solids retention and excellent deposit prevention through underflow design...
