Larox Flowsys Introduces Knife Gate Valves
Larox Flowsys (Lappeenranta, Finland) has launched a new series of valves to supplement the pinch valve family. Larox Heavy Duty Knife Gate Valves are engineered to be used in tough environments with demanding media in the same industrial applications as the company's well known pinch valves.
Larox Knife Gate valves are built with a cast body and feature a robust stainless steel gate. Removable seats on either side of the gate provide a bi-directional bubble tight seal, with no metal parts in contact with the slurry when open.
“With our new knife gate products complementing the pinch valves we can widely cover all the needs our customers have in their slurry applications,” said Pekka Suokas, the Vice President of Larox Flowsys, responsible for valve solutions. “I'm confident that our knife gate valves will be most welcome among users in mining and metal industries, mineral processing, energy industry, sand and gravel handling and in chemical and pulp & paper industries. These products are also excellent for water and wastewater treatment.”
Larox Flowsys now has three knife gate valves for heavy slurries: Larox Flanged Knife Gate Valve (LKF), Larox High Pressure Knife Gate Valve (LKH) and Larox Wafer Knife Gate Valve (LKW). More new products are to be introduced soon, said the company.
