At the upcoming MINExpo 2024 event in Las Vegas next month, DeZURIK will showcase a number of pinch valves and knife gate valves, all specifically engineered for the harsh conditions experienced in mining.
The acquisition of Red Valve in 2021 greatly enhanced DeZURIK’s offerings in the mining industry, particularly the addition of Red Valve’s pinch valves and knife gate valve product lines.
Red Valve will showcase its durable pinch valves designed for both isolation and control, along with the Series DX Slurry Knife Gate Valve, specifically engineered for challenging slurry applications.
DeZURIK is also set to unveil its new KUL EF Extended Flange Urethane Lined Knife Gate Valve. This valve is one of three body configurations available, alongside the standard flange and mechanical joint options. The extended flange body features a urethane liner that fully encases the flange face, creating a flat-faced sealing surface characteristic of slurry push-through valves. Designed for direct dimensional replacement, the valve body matches the long-pattern push-through style slurry valves, offering two face-to face dimensions to accommodate replacements of slurry valves both with and without flange retainers, according to the company.
The company’s MINExpo booth will also feature the DeZURIK KSV Severe Service Knife Gate Valve, known for its exceptional performance and reliability in hydrotransport and tailings applications, the company says. Specifically engineered for highly erosive, high-velocity and high-solids content slurry tailings, the valve stands out in its field of critical slurry applications, DeZURIK says, boasting a non-clogging design with configurable port openings, premium packing systems, abrasion-resistant materials and full-force lockouts for enhanced safety.
DeZURIK will also feature other key products widely used in the industry – such as Red Valve Type A and 75 Pinch Valves, DeZURIK BHP High Performance Butterfly Valves, DeZURIK CRF Rubber Flapper Swing Check Valves and DeZURIK KSL Slurry Knife Gate Valves in both short and long face-to-face design.
