THE CORE OF OUR VALVE
The core of the Larox pinch valve is the elastic sleeve, whichis the only part in contact with the medium. The full boresleeve integrates the valve to the pipeline. This full boredesign eliminates turbulence and minimizes pressurelosses. Technologically advanced Larox sleeves guaranteehigh wear and corrosion resistance, a trouble free operation,and extended lifetime. Our sleeves are 100% tight.
Larox sleeves are handmade layer bylayer in a quality process covered byISO 9001:2000. The standard sleevedesign consists of three sets of layers:the inner layer, the reinforcement layerand the outer layer.
• The inner layer, which is the onlypart in contact with the medium,is resistant to wear and chemicals.
• The reinforcement layer gives thesleeve its pressure retainingcapability. The operating pressureof the sleeve determines thereinforcement fabric to be usedin this layer.
• The outer layer protects the sleevefrom the external processenvironment.
All standard Larox sleeves areequipped with opening tags to ensurefull valve opening in all conditions.
A WIDE RANGE OF MATERIAL
AND DESIGN OPTIONS
Pinch valves are often applied inaggressive, abrasive and corrosivemedia types, or in high-pressureapplications. To cover a wider rangeof applications, our R&D hasdeveloped several sleeve materialsand constructions to meet theseindustry-specific needs.
The high-grade Larox sleeve materialsrange from wear resistant styrenebutadiene to numerous otherelastomers and rubber compounds.These materials are highly resistantto abrasive and corrosive slurries,powders and granular substances.By introducing a HNBR, hydrogenatednitrile sleeve material, Larox sleevescan now handle temperatures up to+320°F.
