Slurry valves from Omsa

May 2012 Training & Education

The OMSA Group offers a wide range of valves suitable for slurry applications that are resistant to the process environment and that offer cost effective solutions. The ITT range of knife gate valves are suitable for use in milling, separation, leaching, tailings transfer and roasting processes, in addition to water treatment applications.

The ITT 33 PTD and 33 PTA are designed specifically for demanding light to medium slurry applications with ranges from dirty water to high density fast settling slurries. The 33 PTD has self cleaning seats to ensure consistent operation, and when the valve is cycled open-to-close, the gates slide between the two seats to form a seal resulting in zero leakage downstream. The 33 PTA offers moulded sleeves and a valve gate that completely withdraws from the process flow when in the open position.

ITT also offer the C/F 33/133 ported slide gate designed for difficult slurry applications. The C/F 33 is an un-bonneted discharge valve while the C/F 133 is bonneted and provides a redirected discharge. According to Omsa, the C/F 133 is one of the safest and most reliable slurry valves which provides protection from high temperature and corrosive media applications and offers performance in scaling applications. It is available in sizes from 50 to 1350 mm.
