Mill waste, or tailings, are abrasive and cause severe wear on piping components as they are collected and delivered to the tailings storage facility (TSF). Tailings applications often see the highest solids content slurry, and highest pipeline volume, and can have a wide range of pressures. Isolation valve performance and life span have a direct impact on mill throughput and operating costs.
The following products are capable of providing zero leakage shutoff through high pressure, high solids content slurry. These valves are engineered for an extended cycle life in abrasive media and rapid, on-site repair to maximize uptime.
