Cast Iron Gate Technical Specifications, Cast Iron Gate Weight, Installation Information for Cast Iron Gates
Before installation, check the connection screws between the vertical and horizontal frames, and between the gate plates, for any looseness caused during transportation and handling. Ensure their joints are not misaligned and adjust them to form a flat surface. Inspect the gap between the gate plates and the gate slots, ensuring the gap does not exceed 0.08mm. Adjust the clamping device if there is any gap. Tighten all connecting bolts.
2. During installation, the gate is vertically inserted into the reserved slot, with adjustment pads placed beneath the side frames (prohibited under the cross beam). Secure the two frames using a manual hoist and diagonal cables to stabilize them. Align and level the gate, insert anchor bolts through the ground bolt holes, adjust the gate's position, and support the formwork for the second phase of pouring.
3. When pouring concrete, any mortar that seeps into the space between the gate leaf, gate frame, diagonal iron, and stop plate should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent it from solidifying and affecting the gate's opening and closing operation.
4. Remove reinforcing materials. Prior to shipment, to ensure the gate leaf and frame fit tightly and reduce gaps upon installation, 4-6 clamping devices are installed on gates over 2 meters tall on the top and bottom frames. Note that after adjusting the gaps, the clamping devices should be removed to facilitate the opening and closing of the gate.
Cast Iron Gate Usage and Maintenance:
1. When opening or closing the gate, pay attention to the upper and lower limit positions of the gate leaf; do not exceed the limits to avoid damaging the gate or the opening/closing mechanism.
2. In case of any abnormal conditions during the opening and closing of the gate, stop using it immediately and check for repairs promptly.
3. The gate pauses for 2 minutes at a distance of 10 cm from the gate bottom upon closing, allowing the swift current to flush out any debris in the bottom gate slot, and then closes the gate again.
