Seeking help with valve issues
Thread Content
The valve is located at the connection between the two tanks, and it is an overflow valve. What type of valve should be used when the medium has high viscosity and contains crystalline particles?
Ball valves are currently being used, but they can cause blockages over time. Also, it’s not easy to adjust! ~Help is requested! ~~

It has to be a ball valve; gate valves are most sensitive to impurities!
It is recommended to use knife gate valves, which have a cutting effect and are relatively durable; the operating conditions are very important.
It’s best to use a ball valve, as it’s more suitable for your application! :)
It is better to choose a metal-sealed, wear-resistant ball valve with a scraper
In applications with solid particles or those that may involve crystalline particles, it is advisable to choose a V-type ball valve, as it possesses a certain self-cleaning capability as well as regulation functions. Care should be taken when selecting V-balls, as crystalline particles can damage the soft sealing rings; therefore, it is recommended to use V-balls with metal seals.
Using a gate valve should work. Or a hard-sealed ball valve can be used.
For media containing crystalline particles and having high viscosity, hard-sealed cut-off valves should be used.
Given what the original poster mentioned, a ball valve is the best choice – it is the least susceptible to clogging. If a ball valve doesn’t work either, I really don’t know what would be a better alternative
The connection overflow valve between the two storage tanks allows for two-way flow of liquid; therefore, a stop valve cannot be used. In addition, various valves can be used.
