Slurry Pinch Valve

ALIS Valves offers Slurry Pinch Valves for industrial applications requiring reliable flow control and shut-off of abrasive slurries and solid-laden fluids. These valves use a flexible, wear-resistant sleeve that is compressed to restrict or stop the flow and released to allow the slurry to pass. Since the process media primarily contacts the internal sleeve, the valve body and operating mechanism remain isolated from direct exposure to the slurry. This design helps reduce wear on internal components, minimize material buildup and support effective handling of demanding slurry applications.

Slurry Pinch Valves are suitable for compatible applications in mining, mineral processing, wastewater treatment plants, chemical processing facilities, cement production and industrial slurry transportation systems. They can handle mixtures containing minerals, sand and other suspended solids, depending on the sleeve material and operating conditions. Important selection factors include slurry concentration, particle size, operating pressure, temperature, flow rate, sleeve material, valve size and actuation method. Selecting the appropriate Slurry Pinch Valve helps support dependable shut-off, efficient flow regulation and reliable performance in abrasive service conditions.
