The new SKW (slurry knife wafer) valve was developed for applications where abrasive or corrosive slurries, powders or coarse substances are processed. The compan
y has engineered its SKW valve at full-bore with no flow restrictions, allowing processes with abrasive or corrosive fluids — such as lime slurry or mineral slurries — to move without compromising performance. The main benefit to a full-bore design is that the SKW valve itself becomes an integral part of the pipe, and allows it to handle the same fluids in the harshest of conditions. — Flowrox, Inc., Linthicum, Md.
