Slurry Valves

Slurry valves are isolation and control valves engineered for abrasive, high-solids process streams in mining and mineral processing. They differ from standard industrial valves through full-bore designs, elastomeric or lined wetted surfaces, and sealing arrangements that resist the abrasion and corrosion that would quickly destroy conventional valve designs.

Common slurry valve types used in mining:

• Knife gate valves: on/off isolation for tailings, cyclone feed, and mill discharge duty
• Pinch valves: isolation and flow control where slurry is also corrosive or highly abrasive
• Air release valves: for managing air pockets and surge in slurry pipeline systems
• Check valves: to prevent backflow on pump discharge lines

If you're dealing with problem slurry valves, talk to us.
We've worked with slurry valves for more than 20 years. Which means we've seen anything go wrong that can go wrong. We can help you figure out the root causes and recommend the right fixes.

Designing a plant or pipeline? Tap into our experience. We can help you avoid expensive mistakes like selecting the wrong valves and having them fail during commissioning.

There's an easier way to hande slurry valve repairs and maintenance - get us to do all the hard work! We handle all repair and refurbishment work in-house in our fully-featured valve workshop.

If it's a better financial decision to repair a valve rather than replace it, we'll tell you. Then we'll complete the repairs with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Talk to us about streamlining the whole process with a valve maintenance program.
