Cair Euromatic Automation Pvt. Ltd. (Cair Valve) is a trusted Sluice Valve Manufacturer in India, based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. With over 30 years of experience, we design, develop, and manufacture high-quality sluice valves for water supply, wastewater, irrigation, and industrial applications. Our valves are supplied across India and manufactured to deliver reliable performance, long service life, and dependable pipeline isolation.

What is a Sluice Valve?

A sluice valve is an isolation valve used to completely start or stop the flow of water or other non-corrosive fluids in a pipeline. It is designed for full open or full close operation rather than flow regulation. When fully open, it allows smooth flow with minimal pressure loss, making it an ideal choice for water distribution and industrial pipeline systems.

Types of Sluice Valves

Cair manufactures two main types of sluice valves:

Resilient Seated (Soft Seated) Sluice Valve

Resilient seated sluice valves use an EPDM rubber-coated wedge to provide leak-tight sealing. They operate smoothly with low torque and are widely used in drinking water, municipal water supply, irrigation, and wastewater systems.

Metal Seated Sluice Valve

Metal seated sluice valves feature a metal-to-metal sealing surface, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications, higher temperatures, and abrasive service conditions where durability is essential.

Manual or Motorized – The Right Choice
Manual Sluice Valve

Manual sluice valves are simple, reliable, and cost-effective. They are widely used where the valve can be operated by handwheel and regular manual access is available. Many water supply projects continue to use manual valves because of their ease of operation and low maintenance.

Motorized Sluice Valve

For modern infrastructure and automated plants, Electric Actuator Operated Sluice Valves are the preferred choice. They allow operators to open and close the valve remotely through a control panel or automation system. Motorized valves improve safety, reduce manual effort, and are ideal for projects requiring frequent operation or smart water management.
