The GUNT Closed Sediment Circuit HM 161.71 is designed for laboratory experiments to study bed-load sediment transport in rivers, canals, and coastal areas. It allows observation of sediment movement along the flume bottom under controlled flow conditions.
Product Features
- Simulates bed-load sediment transport along the experimental section
- Includes suction lance and pipe system with pump for sediment circulation
- Initial sediment bed is created without flowing water, then water circuit is activated
- Accessory automatically identified by the PLC of HM 161
- Sediment pump operated via the touch screen of the PLC
- Flowing water transports sediment along the bottom, allowing clear observation
- Outlet tank designed as sediment trap; suction lance recirculates mixture to water feed
- Not suitable for suspended load transport
- Can be added to HM 161 experimental flume at any time
Benefits
- Enables detailed study of bed-load sediment transport in controlled laboratory conditions
- Clear observation of sediment movement along the flume bottom
- Flexible integration with HM 161 for extended experiments
- Touch-screen PLC control simplifies operation and monitoring
