Handle heavy slurries with this knife gate valve

| By Chemical Engineering

Designed especially for heavy slurry applications in the power and mining industries, the Series DX slurry knife-gate valve minimizes wear by reducing turbulence with reinforced elastomer sleeves that provide a 100% full port opening. The valve can provide drop-tight shut-off in both directions. The Series DX design also prevents slurry build-up in the seat by discharging a small amount of slurry from the valve to keep the gate path and seat area clear of entrapped particulate material. — Red Valve Co.
