Key Innovations

Clarkson Knife Gate Valves
Isolation

Clarkson Knife Gate Valves

Clarkson knife gate valves are well-suited for the mining industry due to their robust design and reliable performance in handling slurry and abrasive materials. These valves utilize advanced elastomeric sleeve technology, ensuring a tight shutoff and preventing leakage under demanding conditions. Clarkson valves support bi-directional flow and provide unobstructed passage, which helps eliminate turbulence and pressure drops, making them efficient for slurry isolation.

Fisher V150SD
Final Control

Fisher V150SD

The Fisher V150SD control valve, designed for severe service applications like thickener underflow in mining, extends service life by combining Spartan Controls' valve health monitoring services with durable materials. This solution helps prevent unrepairable damage by advising timely replacement of wear parts.
