Fabri-Valve F39 Slide Gate Valve
The Fabri-Valve F39 is a heavy-duty slide gate valve for difficult abrasive and high-solids service, handling everything from tough slurries to dry bulk solids, powders and granular material. It offers both shut-off and throttling in a single rugged platform, in gravity-flow as well as pneumatic conveying lines.
Product Benefits
- Closes through solids: The F39 can close through a static column of solid particles and powders, moving a disc of material laterally out of the way and returning it when the gate reverses.
- Works where others jam: That action keeps the valve operating in conditions that seize most designs.
- Port matched to the job: A round port gives clean on/off isolation, while an optional diamond port provides controllable throttling.
- Factory verified: Every valve is tested at the factory, including a body shell test above the rated working pressure with zero allowable leakage, plus cycling and seat testing on resilient-seated valves.
- Testing that pays off: In abrasive services a marginal valve fails early, so that verification matters.
Where It's Used
- Abrasive slurry duty: The F39 is at home in shut-off and throttling of abrasive, high-solids slurries.
- Dry material handling: It also serves gravity-flow chutes and pneumatic conveying of powders, granules and bulk solids.
- Hot process options: For hot process duties, very high-temperature variants can be discussed with the factory.
Good to Know
- Stainless wetted parts: Wetted body and chest components come in a choice of stainless steel grades, with the gate in the same material and given a smooth surface finish.
- Economical alternative: A more economical version pairs stainless wetted parts with carbon steel external flanges.
- Seat choices: Options range from resilient and single D-ring styles to replaceable seats including PTFE.
- Operator range: Handwheel, bevel gear, cylinder and electric actuators are all available.
- Shrouded for remote duty: Remote-operated valves are fitted with a bottom protection shroud.
