Larox® Pinch Valves are designed for demanding process conditions, improving system control while offering lower operation and maintenance costs due to an extended lifetime and fast sleeve change system.
- Easier sleeve change
- Heavy-duty design
- Longer sleeve wear life
- Increased sleeve material options
The Metso SH-KGV valve is a full bore valve suitable for the most abrasive and demanding slurries with strong operational reliability.
Some of the main applications for the mining industry include:
- Grinding circuits
- Dewatering: Thickeners & Filters
- Tailings
- Cyclones
- Paste
- Concentrate pipelines
- Hydrometallurgy
- Transmitter isolation
This bi-directional valve ensures 100% sealing within any given pressure. In open position, the valve seats form a tight extension of the pipeline causing absolutely no leakage onto the metal parts. When the valve is closed, the seats are displaced axially creating a reliable seal with the gate until it forms a complete closure.
