Guided Shear Gate Valve

Since those early days in 1995 they have purchased over 7 500 guided shear gate valves and this is the preferred slurry knife gate for their tailings recovery operations tro.

Guided shear gate valve. The delta industrial class 600 is a fully rated asme class 600 pn100 guided shear gate valve. These gates are used in low seating pressure applications only. A shearing tip and internal gate guides. All dss valves utilize a guided shear gate design that consists of a shearing tip over sized gate and internal gate guides.

They are ideal for tanks where sludge tends to stick. In 1995 cominco a very complex metallurgical facility with 23 different metals being processed was nearly 100 years old. Additional features include a full round port 316 stainless steel materials front and back flush outs and a full flat face flange. They provide a tight shearing action upon closing that removes any sludge remaining on the seat of the valve.

These applications requirements or conditions include. The m81 kgv is equipped with the guided shear gate design to cut through scale fiber and solids found within the pipeline. The delta industrial 15s and 15l series valves are a fully rated asme class 150 pn20 guided shear gate designed for heavy duty applications. They are ideal for tanks where sludge is likely to stick as the shearing action on closure scrapes this material free.

Solids in the pipeline cause traditional gates to deflect warp and leak to atmosphere. The delta industrial class 600 valve features carbon steel bodies and a hardened 17 4 ph stainless steel gate. A guided shear gate valve has the most features and best fundamental rugged design to operate in these challenging conditions and provide the best performance for the myriad of applications. Our guided shear gate design consists of two key elements.

Shear gates are designed for use in lines of low seating pressure for filling and emptying tanks low sludge discharge lines and similar applications. As odd as it sounds traditional knife gate valves cannot actually cut through material on a repeatable basis. Waterman c 16 shear gates are designed for filling or draining tanks in treatment plants for low pressure low sludge drainage lines and other similar applications.
