Emerson has just released a new line of high-performance knife gate valves designed to meet the gap for challenging mid-service mining applications.
The new Clarkson SU10R polyurethane knife gate valve line is available throughout the United States and offers mining and mineral processing companies a solution to the abrasion and corrosion conditions that plague mid-service applications, while significantly increasing reliability and service life. The two-piece body construction and field replaceable snap-in liner design provides reliable sealing. As well, an integral seat face seal eliminates the need for flange gaskets. The Clarkson SU10R urethane valves offer a number of other advantages over conventional metal seated valves such as providing superior abrasion resistance. The valves are also truly bi-directional.
The Clarkson SU10R valves will initially be available in sizes ranging from 50mm (2 inches) up to 600mm (24 inches) and operate at 10 bar (150 psi cwp) across the entire range at temperatures of up to 80°C (175°F). Emerson is currently offering its new Clarkson SU10R valve for customers in the United States, with a rollout to other regions, including Latin America and Asia Pacific, at a later date.
