  Iron ore, the lifeblood of the steel industry, rarely exists in a pristine state. It’s often extracted and transported as a slurry – a thick mixture of crushed ore particles suspended in water. These slurries pose a significant challenge to flow control due to their abrasive nature. Here’s a deep dive into how   Slurry Knife Gate Valves   tackle this demanding task. Understanding the Abrasiveness of Iron Ore Slurries Iron ore is a naturally abrasive material, containing a high concentration of hard minerals like quartz and hematite. When crushed and mixed with water, these particles create a slurry that can wear down conventional valves rapidly. The abrasiveness of a slurry depends on several factors, including Particle size and shape:  Larger, angular particles are more abrasive than smaller, rounded ones. Concentration:  Higher concentrations of solids in the slurry increase its abrasiveness. Flow velocity:  Faster flow rates can lead to increased erosi...

Streamlining Flow Control Across Industries with Eccentric Butterfly Valves In the world of industrial flow control solutions,  butterfly valves  have carved a niche for themselves. But not all butterfly valves are created equal. V-Tork’s eccentric butterfly valves offer a distinct advantage, thanks to their innovative design that tackles some of the limitations faced by traditional concentric butterfly valves. Unveiling the Eccentric Advantage: Design and Functionality What are Eccentric Butterfly Valves? Unlike traditional concentric butterfly valves where the disc rotates around a central shaft aligned with the body centerline, eccentric butterfly valves feature an offset disc. This seemingly minor design change has a significant impact on performance. The shaft is positioned away from the center of the valve body, creating an eccentricity that offers several benefits. How Does the Eccentricity Work? During operation, as the disc rotates to open or close the valve, the ecce...
