The Red Valve Series DX Slurry Knife Gate Valve

Fully elastomer lined

100% full-port design
Eliminates need for packing
Abrasion resistant slurry sleeves
Bi-directional, drop-tight shut-off
Eliminates seat cavity which prevents slurry build-up or dewatering

Red Valve’s Series DX Slurry Knife Gate Valve is the most durable and userfriendly
knife gate valve for difficult slurry applications.

Extensive in-house testing and proprietary formulation of elastomers allows

Red Valve to guarantee our sleeves against fatigue or loss of compression for
50,000 cycles!When open, the DX Valve’s reinforced elastomer sleeves seal
against each other and provide a 100% full-port opening which minimizes
turbulence and wear. In this open position, the seats isolate and protect all
metal parts of the valve from coming in contact with the process. When
closed, the sleeves provide a drop-tight seal in both directions.
Extensive in-house testing and proprietary
formulation of elastomers allows Red Valve
Each time the DX Valve strokes, it discharges a small amount of slurry, which to guarantee our sleeves against fatigue or
keeps the gate path and seat area clear of entrapped particulates. Unlike loss of compression for 50,000 cycles!
traditional knife gate valves, the DX prevents slurry build-up in the seat area,
which might otherwise prohibit the valve’ s ability close. Both the slurry sleeves
and gate are field replaceable.
Materials of Construction
A wiper blade mounted on top of the valve prevents the gate lubricant and Body: ductile iron (standard, DN80-DN600),
process from leaking through the top. The DX Valve design eliminates the fabricated steel (DN650-DN900)
Sleeves: Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene, Hypalon,
need for traditional packing. This wiper blade also prevents external grit from Chlorobutyl, Buna-N, EPDM, Viton
entering the valve body. Gate: 316L S.S. (standard), 17-4PH, 317L, 904L,
duplex, alloy 20 and C-276,
To control slurry discharging from slot in the valve, a plate style splash Optional proprietary gate coatings: PTFE, PFA and FEP
guard is utilized. Optional systems to pipe or flush the slurry away are also Optional splash guard and pipe-a-way containment
available.
