FCSV Ceramic Slide Valve

KOWOV manufactures the FCSV ceramic slide valve for slurry flow control in coal-chemical, soda ash, mining and petrochemical plants. It uses a flat slider and fixed seat at the edge of the flow passage; separating the valve and pipe openings is intended to reduce direct erosion of the sealing surfaces

Design and construction

  • The valve core moves linearly on the valve seat, creating a planar seal at the edge of the valve seat flow passage hole, allowing throttling, opening, and closing
    The design minimizes flow resistance and erosion, with no sharp turns or stagnation points
    The valve core is embedded in a metal mounting plate with ceramic to prevent breakage from clogging
    Each valve seat and valve core are pair-ground to ensure sealing
    The metal mounting plate has a T-slot that connects with the valve stem's T-slot, keeping the valve core floating and improving sealing performance
    Both valve core and seat are made of structural ceramic, with ceramic-lined flow passages at the flanges for wear, corrosion, and erosion resistance
    The valve's design extends its service life (interior valve body currently cannot be lined with ceramic)
    The live-load packing arrangement maintains packing force as wear occurs
  • FCSV CERAMIC SLIDE VALVE (5)
The FCSV1 has a compact structure and low push-pull actuation force. It can operate as a control or on-off valve in media with high impurity levels, scaling, crystallization, viscosity or large particles. The flat flow path and self-cleaning action are intended to limit clogging and flow deviation
The main sealing components are structural ceramic. The valve seat re-establishes the flow channel at the pipeline center to keep the process stream away from the body and downstream pipe wall
The FCSV1 valve can handle slurries, gas-solid particulate media, and gas-solid-liquid three-phase media under severe erosion conditions, maintaining smooth operation, long-term sealing, and extended service life
