Case Study: Chemical - Carbon Black Oklahoma, USA

A plant in Oklahoma that manufactures Chemical Carbon


Black was unable to find a valve that would work for their
application.

The carbon black was stored in large hoppers, and


discharged by gravity through an isolation valve. The material
is in powder form, and kept at 250°F. This hot, abrasive
material would quickly score plug and ball valves, causing
them to leak. Other styles of knife gates were also tried, but
all suffered the same problems.

The plant liked the features of the Flexgate Slurry Knifegate:


- a full port when open,
- bi-directional seal,
- replaceable seats.
and decided to give it a try.

The Flexgate is supplied with flush ports, so the plant


connected the air system from the actuator to flush out the
seating area on every cycle.

The valve exceeded their expectations and is now in use


throughout the plant.
