New Larox pinch valve with fireproof structure
Posted: 5 July 2003
Larox Flowsys, the manufacturer of reliable and functional pinch
valves and peristaltic hose pumps, has developed a pinch valve with
fireproof features.
The new Larox fireproof valve is ideal for firewater and sprinkler
systems in offshore industry.
Salty offshore and other seawater applications are very difficult
to most metal valves, because saline water corrodes valves and makes
them almost impossible to operate.
Pinch valves are most suitable for these applications as the non-corroding
sleeve is the only part, which is in direct contact with the medium.
The elastic sleeve also ensures that the valve does not jam or
clog even if it has been closed for a long period.
Larox valves have been proven to operate reliably under the toughest
seawater conditions.
They are specially designed for on/off and control applications
involving abrasive or corrosive slurries and powders. Larox valves
differ from conventional valves in terms of superior quality, excellent
wear resistance, tightness and anti-jamming properties.
Further, they reduce maintenance costs and the upkeep is easy since
the sleeve is the only wearing part.
The new fireproof valve consists of AISI316 body, SBRT sleeve,
bronze bushings and an extra flange cover.
It offers both the good fire resistance and non-corrosive, anti-jamming
reliable operation, which is certified by Det Norske Veritas type
approval of fire water system valves.
