Hydro-Brake® Chambers
CPM Group in a joint venture with Hydro International plc have introduced a series of easy to install pre-formed Hydro-Brake® Chambers. The system incorporates in a reinforced concrete chamber with pre-formed benching and headwall with a pre-fitted Hydro-Brake®.
The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control is a device for controlling liquid flow. It is self-activating, relying upon upstream hydraulic head to generate an air filled vortex within the centre of the casting. The chamber has been designed to enable the contractor to install the Hydro-Brake® Chamber in a fraction of the time it takes using conventional methods.
