Flowrox Rotary Disc Valve (LRD) : Operational Principle

The Flowrox Rotary Disc Valve (LRD) is designed for seal tight shut-off of slurries and liquids within pipelines. It features a rotating heavy-duty steel disc built into a cast body, making it suitable for demanding applications without sticking or leaking. The valve seals against wear and cycles automatically by rotating the disc on each open/close operation.

Flowrox Rotary Disc Valve (LRD)

Flowrox Rotary Disc Valve (LRD) is built with a cast body and features
a rotating heavy-duty steel disc. It is designed for the most
demanding conditions in slurry applications. The valve cycles even in
heavy slurries without sticking or leaking, and with minimum wear.
LRD is available with pressure ratings from 10 to 100 bar.

OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE
The LRD valve is designed for seal tight shut-off of
slurries and liquids within a pipeline. The valve is
designed to be operated only in the fully open or
fully closed position. When the valve is opened or
closed, the disc is allowed to rotate. The pressure
pushes the disc against the valve seat and results
in rotation. On each open/close cycle the disc
Features rotates a few degrees and seats in a different
