Overview
A self-activating device that uses vortex technology to control and attenuation flow in collection systems.

The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control is a self-activating vortex flow control device that provides superior hydraulic performance over conventional flow regulators with patented features that reduce maintenance requirements.

Hydro-Brake® Flow Controls harness the energy inherent in the flow field, they have no moving parts and no external energy requirements. With clear openings up to 600% larger than conventional flow control devices, the risk of blockage is reduced to an absolute minimum. In addition, the unique head discharge characteristics reduce storage volume requirements, thus lowering project costs.

The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control offers cost savings on applications ranging from CSO diversion structures and flood control to stormwater storage facilities, treatment plants and other stormwater management schemes for new developments.

HRD Technologies offers a variety of patented models designed to enhance performance in the most difficult and challenging situations. Our engineers can advise on how the Hydro-Brake® Flow Control can be customised to meet your requirements and provide the optimal solution for your projects.
