The award-winning equipment Amanziflow is known for

The automatic, self-actuating systems at the heart of most of our installations — storing more water, keeping it clean, and handing it on precisely where it is needed.

AG-TOPS · Spillway gate

TOPS Spillway Gate

Raises the full supply level of existing or new dams by 0.5 m to 10 m — increasing storage without raising the dam wall.

It installs on straight or curved ogee spillways without modifying the spillway crest, using a unique outward and upward motion that rides on the water it stores — no external power, sensors or controllers required.

AV-DM · Flow control valve

Diaphragm Valve

Control valve for precise flow, and closing off for irrigation dams when storage is full.

A line-pressure diaphragm operator regulates flow and head without motors or power. A manual locking device is available where the valve must be held shut for maintenance or isolation.

  • Precise flow and head control

    The diaphragm operator holds the set flow across the working head range.

  • Shuts off when storage is full

    Closes the supply to irrigation dams rather than overfilling them.

  • Manual locking when required

    A locking option holds the valve in position for maintenance or isolation.

AG-SC · Sediment removal

Scour Gate

Protects dam storage by flushing sediment before it settles — and restores full supply level as floodwaters recede.

Installed at the base of dams and river weirs, it opens automatically during flood events to pass sediment-laden water, then closes automatically to retain the full supply level. No electro-mechanical operation and no external power.

  • Passes sediment in flood

    Opens automatically during flood events to flush sediment-laden water downstream.

  • Retains supplied storage

    Closes as floodwaters recede — holding back water instead of releasing it.

  • Self-actuating, no power

    Runs on non-electro-mechanical actuation, with manual operation for scheduled flushing.

The Amanziflow Difference

Self-actuating by design. Dependable by nature.

Our valves and gates harness the very water they control. There are no motors, no PLCs and no batteries to fail — just proven hydraulic principles engineered to operate through storms, outages and decades of service.

No external power

Fully self-actuating: the equipment runs on the pressure and level of the water itself.

No operator error

Removes the human variable from flood response and level control, day or night.

Built to outlast

Marine-grade fabrication and pressure-tested assemblies for Infrastructure that must endure.
