Valves

Industrial valves are flow-control devices used to regulate, isolate, or control fluid movement within piping systems. They are essential components in mining, processing, and industrial applications.
Engineering Overview
Metzix Heavy-Duty Slurry Knife Gate, Pinch, Ball, and Butterfly Valves are engineered specifically for zero-leakage isolation and precise modulating control of abrasive slurries, corrosive tailings, and industrial chemicals. Featuring bi-directional zero-leakage shutoff, unobstructed full-port bore designs, and replaceable elastomeric sleeves or ceramic trims, Metzix valves eliminate solids accumulation and jamming in the seat pockets. Available with pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, or manual bevel gear actuators.
Key Features & Engineering Advantages
Performance & Economic Benefits
100% drop-tight bubble shutoff even with high percentage solids slurries
In-line rebuildable sleeve designs allow seat replacements without removing valve from pipe
Eliminates valve jamming caused by particulate buildup in conventional gate valve grooves
Long cycle endurance under harsh cycling frequencies in automated tailings circuits
