Product Overview

Heavy-duty solution for high-pressure slurry handling applications

Designed for Demanding Conditions with Extended Service Life

The Series 768 knife gate valve is an engineered solution for heavy-duty slurry handling applications. Featuring a compact wafer face-to-face dimension, this valve provides an efficient and space-saving solution for various slurry handling needs, equipped with Bray SlurryShield technology and capable of directly replacing conventional knife gate valves. The valve features dual elastomeric sleeves and a self-cleaning gate design. The gate design withstands 1.1 times the valve pressure rating, ensuring durability in high-pressure applications. Higher pressure ratings can be achieved using higher yield strength gate materials such as duplex 2205 or 17-4PH stainless steel. The sleeves are field-replaceable, allowing the valve to return to service quickly and extending service life. Certifications include CRN for Class 2 liquids and PED Category I Module A certification, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations. The Series 768 knife gate valve delivers in design and performance, demonstrating efficiency in heavy-duty slurry handling applications across mining, HPAL/POX, chemical, and other industries.

FAQ

Why is the Bray Series 768 bidirectional knife gate valve suitable for high-pressure slurry applications?

The Series 768 is designed for heavy-duty slurry handling with dual elastomeric sleeves and a self-cleaning gate structure that reduces the impact of slurry on sealing areas. The gate can withstand loads up to 1.1 times the valve pressure rating, making it suitable for high-pressure slurry applications in mining, HPAL/POX, chemical, and other industries.

How to select the pressure rating and size range for the Series 768?

Size range is NPS 2 to 24 (DN 50 to 600). Maximum allowable working pressure for NPS 2 to 16 (DN 50 to 400) is 150 psi (10 bar); for NPS 18 to 24 (DN 450 to 600) it is 90 psi (6.2 bar). Higher pressure ratings may be achievable with higher yield strength gate materials.

What body, gate, and actuator configurations are available for the Bray Series 768?

Body options include ductile iron, carbon steel, or stainless steel. Gate options include 304, 316, 317 stainless steel, SAF 2507, SAF 2205, 17-4PH, Hastelloy C, or Monel. Actuator options include handwheel, bevel gear, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric. Specific configuration should be confirmed based on actual model and application conditions.

What is the seat temperature range for the Series 768? How to match media conditions?

Natural rubber seat temperature range is -51°C to 74°C; EPDM rubber seat temperature range is -54°C to 120°C. Seat material should be selected based on media temperature, slurry characteristics, and valve application conditions.

Are the sleeves of the Series 768 knife gate valve easy to maintain and replace?

Yes. The Series 768 features field-replaceable sleeves. When sleeve maintenance is required, field replacement can be performed, helping the valve return to service quickly and extending overall service life.
