Choosing the right slurry valve is essential for reliable performance in abrasive and corrosive applications. Explore pinch, duckbill check and knife gate valves, their materials, applications, sizing considerations and maintenance best practices.
Read MoreA knife gate valve is a valve like a gate valve and has the same operating principle. However, it is much narrower, and has a variety of gate and seat trims, material configurations, and is a very popular choice of valve for slurry applications because it can “cut through” solids.
Read MoreWhat valve type do you choose for wet slurries?? When choosing they type of valve for wet slurry applications, the type of valve used can significantly impact performance, and wear life of the valve.
Read Morethe Series PJ pinch valve, is a very simple valve. It has a high-quality elastomeric sleeve, fully encased in a Ductile Iron housing unit, (like a dome shaped unit), and flanged AIRTIGHT. The body has an AIR INLET on the top, and a SUMP PLUG below the housing body.
Read MoreIn the Americas and in many parts of Africa, the Pinch Valve is very widely used for many applications from water to sewage, to mining to cement and general industry.
Read MoreThe knife gate valve as we know it today was invented and originated out of a dire need to handle abrasive flow applications, and some of the very first applications it was intended for was sugar cane pulp processing for the pulp and paper industry.
Read MoreA pinch valve is a type of which is full-bore and full flow valve in most isolation/on-off applications. It can also be used for control and modulating service, by having the sleeve pre-configured to a funnel or conical or variable orifice design, to allow varied flowrates into and out of the valve.
Read MoreIn almost every mineral processing plant, there is employed the use of Milk of Lime (or Lime Slurry) to neutralize the pH content. This suspension is usually between 10-30% of Hydrated Lime, mixed with water.
