VANNE REGLABLE POUR POMPES A LIQUIDES EPAIS

摘要

A slide valve for dense or viscous materials, e.g. concrete, has a slide element connected to a piston rod which extends out of the valve housing through a seal and carries a piston received in a cylinder which is clamped to the housing around the seal by a clamping nut. The cylinder has an outer actuation chamber while an inner annular chamber between the piston and the seal is a flushing compartment connected to a reservoir of liquid through a single duct. As the piston moves toward the seal, the liquid in the flushing compartment is expelled, taking with it any foreign matter which has gotten past the seal, and as the piston movement is reversed this compartment is filled with the liquid via this duct to flush the rod again. The valve element, valve guides, end stops, and sleeves surrounding the piston rods are all easily removable and replaceable to facilitate servicing of the valve.
