A complete range of dredge valves
Dredge piping delivers the dredged slurry to the right spot. For this, dredge valves are indispensable on board of cutter suction dredgers and trailing suction hopper dredgers. Moreover, land discharge pipe lines need a robust dredge valve for reliable operations. The dredge valve delivery program covers a wide array of dredge pipe diameters and pressure stages.
► Reliable flow control
Banglamark offers a complete line of dredge valves for a range of dredging equipment. The robust sand and slurry valves are designed and manufactured in the Netherlands. The rubbering gate valves are for use in suction and discharge piping transporting highly abrasive slurries.
► Swift installation and easy maintenance
The dredge valve range has been designed to be flange-mounted in dredge pipe lines. The valve body has a bolted horizontal division. Moreover practical inspection and maintenance covers and flushing connections are provided in the lower body. The high tensile stainless steel valve slide is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder, fully opening or closing the dredge pipe.
► Watertight slide seals
In open and closed position the dredge valve is fully watertight using wear-resistant polyurethane sealing rings. The easily replaceable sealing rings are pre-tensioned to provide a smooth and free passage of the mixture. The sealing rings close immediately after lifting the slide for minimal siltation of the valve body.
► Full control
A double acting hydraulic cylinder operates the valve slide. It is mounted vertically on top of the upper body by a flange connection. The cylinder rod is connected to the slide, ensuring a completely open or fully closed position. This position is indicated both electrically and mechanically.
► Minimal build-in length
Space is limited on board of dredgers. Hence, the dredge valves are designed to be as slim as possible, so they fit easily on board your suction dredger. Still, they are robustly designed for flow control of slurry, sand, stones, aggregates and other abrasive materials – fit for purpose.
