Flowrox‘s SKF valve is part of the slurry knife gate valve series that handles slurries in harsh process conditions. The ring sleeves of the valve include an integrated load distribution ring. This ring helps eliminate problems with over compression, which can cause accidental damage to the rubber sleeves and also actuator stalling due to the extreme force placed on the moving knife. The SKF valve’s rubber ring sleeves are the only parts in contact with the harsh medium inside the pipeline. This reduces any corrosion due to wear-and-tear.
In addition to its resistance to aggressive and corrosive slurries, the SKF is built around an ease of maintenance concept that shows throughout the valve design and structure. The one-piece body eliminates any potential leakages from the body. It also enables a universal tower construction that will accept any actuator type and even changing between the types after the valve has been installed to the pipeline.
