Larox Pinch Valves T HE S OLUTION Y OU ´ VE B EEN L OOKING F OR
Larox Valves Ideal for shut off applications involving Abrasive Corrosive slurries Powders and Coarse substances Our solutions offer substantial savings Improved performance Longer service lifetime Lower maintenance costs
Modular Design Three main components The sleeve The body with mechanical closing bars The actuator The sleeve is the only part in contact with the process medium Can be tailored to suit most process conditions
In the open position, the valve is at full bore with no flow restrictions Operating Principle During closing, two pinch bars squeeze the sleeve shut on the centerline
Technical Features Full bore Only the sleeve is in contact with the medium Centerline closing Flexible sleeve
Process Benefits 100 % tight Excellent wear resistance High corrosion resistance No jamming or clogging Self-cleaning Trouble-free operation Long service intervals Low maintenance costs Reduced cost of ownership
Larox Manual Valves The standard range Diameters of 25 mm to mm Temperatures from -50°C to +160 °C Operating pressures from vacuum to 100 bar Equipped with hand wheel Totally enclosed for full protection A reduction gear when needed
Technical Specifications Open body (PV) For non-hazardous media, lower pressures and lower operating temperatures Light-weight and easy to service Size range starts from 80 mm Body materials Fabricated carbon steel Stainless steel
Technical Specifications Enclosed design protects the sleeve from the environment Safe to operate Diameters begin with 25 mm Body materials Cast iron/fabricated carbon steel Stainless steel Aluminium Polyurethane (up to DN150, 6 bar) Polyamide (DN250, 10 bar) Enclosed body (PVE)
Special Products Sealed body (PVS) Designed to add safety to processes involving hazardous media or high operating pressures Completely enclosed stem and sidebars 100 % protection against any leakage Size range starting from 25 mm Body materials Cast iron/fabricated carbon steel Stainless steel Enclosed/sealed body (PVE/S) Designed to add safety Stem and side bars are sealed with O rings Prevents leakage from the valve body Size range starts from 25 mm Body materials Cast iron/fabricated carbon steel Stainless steel Aluminium

Larox Sleeves T HE S OLUTION Y OU ´ VE B EEN L OOKING F OR
Larox Sleeves Technical Features Size range: 25 mm mm Temperatures: -50°C °C Operating pressure from vacuum to 100 bar Product Features Full bore 100 % tight Only the sleeve is in contact with the medium Flexible Self-cleaning Process Benefits Excellent wear resistance High corrosion resistance No turbulence No flow restriction
Larox Sleeve Design The standard sleeve design includes three sets of layers The inner layer is resistant to wear and chemical substances The reinforcement layers give the sleeve its pressure retaining capability The outer layer protects the sleeve Inner layer Reinforcement layers Outer layer
Larox Sleeves All standard sleeves are equipped with opening tags to ensure complete valve opening under all conditions
