Linatex LinaValve ST
Linatex LinaValve ST is a handwheel operated, open frame pinch valve designed for effective control of abrasive and corrosive flow media. The valve’s Linatex lined one-piece sleeve design makes it suitable for harsh, highly abrasive flow control applications while protecting the pinch mechanism and other parts from exposure to the process. The extended length of the LinaValve ST improves sleeve closing and opening performances while reducing stress on sleeve end connections. Applicable in liquid-solid slurry and gas-solid pneumatic conveying services, the LinaValve ST design results in abrasion-resistant high flow capacity.
Features
- Full bore/full flow design results in low friction loss and high flow capacity.
- Center pinch design for predictable linear flow performance, reduced turbulence and longer sleeve wear life.
- Open body configuration allows easy visual evaluation of valve position, simplifies valve maintenance and sleeve replacement, and lowers weight.
- Extended valve length improves sleeve closing and opening performance, reduces stresses on sleeve end connections, and minimizes wear on adjacent piping.
- High flexibility sleeve design reduces closing forces, improves recovery to full open position and ensures drip tight shut off.
- One piece sleeve protects operating mechanism and body parts from exposure to process.
- Elastomer sleeve reduces piping vibration and water hammer.
- Low force manual handwheel actuation.
- Stub end sleeve design allows changing sleeve without removing the valve from the process line.
