Wild Metal GmbH products

The loss of performance in hydro-electric power stations caused by floating debris is minimised by the use of optimum trash rack cleaning machines.

Our gates offer not only low noise and environmentally-friendly operation, but also low wear and cost-effective maintenance, which have a long-term positive impact on the cost-effectiveness of the plant.

Our jam flaps are used principally to regulate the level of reservoirs. State-of-the-art automation technology makes it possible to regulate the water level as required and thus to react to different conditions.

The inlet cone for pressure pipelines, with integrated pipe-break valve with automatic activation, which is produced in our workshop, serves as an emergency shutdown device, in case of a damage of the pressure pipeline with water outlet. The pipe outlets are designed and manufactured project-specifically.

The company Wild Metal offers complete water intakes made of steel for hydroelectric power stations. These are adjusted on the different projects, they are available in different sizes and can be realized depending on the customer’s request. Especially suitable for smaller water intakes. In case of inaccessibility of the water intake, the components can be easily assembled by helicopter.

Stop logs are used as barriers during inspection and repair work at plants. Therefore the tightness and reliability of the stop logs are particularly important.

The Grizzly rake has been developed and patented by the company Wild Metal GmbH. The rake is a self-cleaning protective screen for water intakes of hydroelectric power stations or drinking water systems and requires no drive. It consists of a robust, hot-dip galvanized steel grid and an underlying fine screen. The form of the upper protection bars is adjusted to the natural water flow – the construction method and the space between the bars are adjusted on site.

The rake is a self-cleaning protective screen for water intakes of hydroelectric power stations or drinking water systems and requires no drive. It consists of a robust fine screen, which is made of special wear-resistant stainless steel. The penetration of sand into the water intake is minimized thanks to the small gap width. Separation systems like trash rack cleaner are not necessary, the sand trap can be dimensioned smaller, which affects the construction costs economically.

Alongside our main business of hydraulic steel construction, Wild Metal also works in metals and mechanical engineering.
