Flowrox PVG valve

Flowrox has launched a pinch valve product designed to enhance current pipeline equipment and processes using the latest technology in fluid control. The PVG valve was developed for use in the oil and gas, mining, minerals and metallurgy, and wastewater industries - particularly where abrasive or corrosive slurries, powders or coarse substances are processed.

Flowrox has engineered its PVG valve at full bore with no flow restrictions, allowing processes with abrasive or corrosive fluids - such as lime slurry or mineral slurries. The main benefit of a full bore design is that the PVG valve itself becomes an integral part of the pipe and is able to process the same fluids in the harshest of conditions.

In addition to its strength and resistance to aggressive slurries, the PVG valve is designed as a full port fluid control device that allows a more efficient process, requiring less pumping energy. The reduction of head pressure is another benefit offered by the PVG valve, which helps reduce pump costs and eliminates unnecessary turbulence in pipelines handling abrasive slurries.

At the core of the PVG valve is its elastic sleeve, which is the only part in contact with the medium as a way to reduce any potential corrosion or deterioration due to wear and tear, even when processing the most corrosive chemicals.
