This valve is designed for hard particles and corrosive media containing softer solids. Typical service includes hydraulic coal conveying with a slag-to-water ratio above 1:5 and particles up to 5 mm, hydraulic slag and ash removal, and slurry pipelines. Nominal pressure is 1.0, 1.6, 2.5 or 4.0 MPa, with service temperatures up to 200°C.

All wetted parts use structural ceramic with exceptional chemical stability and hardness. The valve therefore provides very high abrasion, corrosion and erosion resistance, along with good thermal insulation and a low coefficient of thermal expansion.
