Slurryflo Valve Corp.

SlurryFlo - The Toughest Control Valves in the World. There are several control valve designs that will successfully modulate the flow of clean fluids. However, if the media contains solid particulates, the scenario is more challenging. Many of these ‘clean fluid' valves are not viable for slurry duty, as their angular flow paths can become eroded or plugged. End users looking to modulate the flow of abrasive slurries must select valves with ‘line-of-sight' trim geometry, (i. e. butterfly, ball, pinch or knife-gate valves). These designs provide minimal flow re-direction, as they modulate via an increase in the fluid velocity. Accelerating a slurry through line-of-site valves does come with compromises, particularly when pressure drops are elevated, making them susceptible to cavitation and increased erosion. This can result in more frequent valve replacements, potential damage to downstream piping and downtime associated to repairs. SlurryFlo control valves are different – our 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. These valves will significantly outlast anything you have ever used.
