GUNT Closed Sediment Circuit

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
