The patented trim design of Slurry Flo acts as a variable orifce, centering the flow within the pipe. This protects the pressure containing valve body and the integrity of the downstream piping. These valves will significantly outlast anything you have ever used.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Modulating the flow of abrasive slurry is challenging. When the fluid passes through a control valve, the restricted openings cause the media to accelerate. This high velocity slurry is directed into the valve’s body and downstream pipe wall. The continuous erosion often results is frequent valve replacements, damaged piping and downtime. SlurryFlo’s patented trim design acts like a variable orifice, centering the flow within the pipe. This protects the pressure containing valve body and the integrity of the downstream piping.
WHY SlurryFlo?
The SlurryFlo Control Valve has two (2) key features that separate it from the pack:
CENTERED FLOW: See above.
FIELD REPLACEABLE WEAR COMPONENTS: Due to SlurryFlo’s patented design, only the trim componentsare exposed to erosive flow. Once they do eventually wear out, the parts can be field replaced to reset the service life clock. Each trim replacement essentially provides a new valve at a fraction of the cost. Similarly, if flow conditions ever change, a new seat plate can be specified to provide an increase or decrease in flow. There is no need to replace the entire valve assembly (often the case with other valve designs).
SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Valve
With unique trim design options and engineered solutions, SlurryFlo can utilize dozens of standard and exotic metallurgies to fit your application. SlurryFlo engineers use state-of-the-art design and flow-modeling software to
AUTOMATION
For ultimate control, linear actuators can be ordered with internal position transmitters. These units replace external positioner linkage arms and are protected from process media, the elements and other hazards.
SlurryFlo’s NICHE
SlurryFlo valves excel in the world of niche abrasive slurry control applications, which are typically found in mining industries throughout the world (i.e. copper, nickel, potash, coal, etc) or any other abrasive processes where valve performance and life expectancy are key drivers for customers.
SlurryFlo addresses all the issues and delivers a valve that exceeds the life expectancy of other control valves typically used in these applications. SlurryFlo offers a true reduction in overall cost of ownership with minimum downtime for your most critical and demanding applications.
