Push-Through Slurry Valve Handles Harsh Applications

The 33 PTD incorporates a UHMW gate support liner, which provides smooth gate operation and alignment while eliminating body wear.

ITT Engineered Valves' Fabri-Valve 33 PTD push-through slurry valve meets the harsh demands of light to medium slurry applications. The 33 PTD is most suitable for copper, gold, silver or phosphate.

The handling of slurries causes unplanned downtime, which leads to high maintenance costs. The 33 PTD has been specifically engineered to solve those problems.
 
The 33 PTD incorporates a UHMW gate support liner, which provides smooth gate operation and alignment while eliminating body wear. The elastomeric seats have been engineered to provide the highest degree of abrasion resistance and chemical compatibility. The valve seats form a pressure boundary allowing for maintenance of gate and actuation while under pressure, which minimizes downtime.

Unlike other slurry valves in the industry, the 33 PTD is designed with dead-end service capability. The push-through seat design is self-cleaning and has low discharge.
 
The 33 PTD is available in sizes ranging from 3-inch through 24-inch diameters (DN 80-600). Sizes 3-16 inches (DN 80-400) operate at 150 psi (10.3 bar) and up to 180°F (82°C). Sizes 18-24 inches (DN 450-600) operate at 90 psi (6.2 bar) of working pressure and up to 180°F (82°C).
