How the valves work:
The 33PTA and 33PTD slurry valves both work by axially compressing matching elastomer sleeves when the valve is open. It is
the compression of the sleeves against each other that creates a pressure boundary that contains the media within the valve.
When the valve is closed, the gate of the valve separates the matching sleeves and the compression of the sleeves against the
gate that creates the pressure boundary that contains the media within the valve. While the gate of the valve is in a mid stroke
position between open and closed, a small area of separation is created between the matching sleeves. This area of separation
creates a self-flushing action that allows any solids that would interfere with sealing of the pressure boundary to be discharged
away from the sleeves of the valve. The discharge media can be either discharged to the environment or captured by a splash
guard to be directed to an area where it can be disposed of properly.
• Gate fully withdrawn from process flow • Gate is fully extended and separates
• Sleeves in contact with each other sealed matching sleeves
by axial compression • Sleeves in contact with gate and sealed
• Pressure boundary is maintained between by axial compression
matching sleeves • Pressure boundary is maintained
• No obstructions or cavities for solids to between gate and sleeves
collect • Zero discharge in closed position
• Zero discharge in open position
