Thread Content
The solid materials discharged from the centrifuge go to two separate tanks; what type of valve should be used for separation? I asked around, and it turns out that three-way valves usually stop working after about a month. Are there any other valves that can perform this function?
I don’t understand; does a three-way valve also have the function of separating materials?
One enters through the mouth, while the other two exit alternately
Use a three-way valve with higher material requirements.
Is the failure mainly due to leakage caused by severe wear of the sealing packing? How about trying a butterfly valve with a rubber seal?
Yes, the wear is too severe; it leaks every month. I’ll consult the manufacturer to see if it can be replaced
To meet this requirement, we simply need to install a distribution cone at the discharge outlet; the shape of the cone tip can be adjusted. After testing and making the necessary adjustments, it can be used continuously – there are no moving parts, so there are no failures.
A Y-type three-way valve is commonly used in pneumatic conveying; it’s relatively expensive! What’s the caliber? Two highly wear-resistant butterfly valves can also be used as a substitute, or fixed hard-sealed ball valves
Is it seal wear, or valve body wear?
If the valve body is worn out, what’s the use of those answers suggesting to replace the seal? What material was your original valve body made of? This is caused by sand erosion resulting from the high-speed movement of solid slag powder within the valve body; you need to check what material the valve body is made of. If it’s not suitable, use tungsten steel instead. The valve body material holds up; now let’s check the lifespan of the seal.
