The mining industry has a number of services that pose challenging conditions for flow control valves. These include high pressure service, abrasive media, and cavitation.

Multi-orifice pressure reduction devices, such as globe valves with anti-cavitation trims, are prone to erosion and plugging, resulting in a short service life and limited control capacities.

SlurryFlo control valves installed in series provide extended service life with maximum control capacities over a wide range of operation conditions. Two control valves in series modulate, providing a seamless and effective solution to tough slurry applications.

In particularly challenging applications, employing a custom engineered control valve trim to this solution will significantly reduce cavitation and vibration. This option, in place of a ball valve, has proven to prevent damage to the valve actuator and provide increased process throughput.

The engineering team at SlurryFlo provide ongoing engineering service and support. This ensures a cost effective, adaptive solution that manages pressure drops and reduces cavitation as flow conditions change.

Here at Summit, we work closely with SlurryFlo to simplify communications and ensure you get the most out of your control valve.
