Mud tank valves mean the specific valve mounted in mud tank. Including the suction valve, dump valve or equalizer valve,and so on.

Parameters of mud tank suction valves

Mud tank valves type

Actually, for mud tank the valves are various kind. Such as gate valve, butterfly valve, suction valve, dump valve, equalizer valve, and so on. The mud tank valves we are talking are customer-built valves fabricated in welding shop with carbon steel or other raw material. Not the standard ones with same look or exact dimension.

Based on valve port / pipe size, there are 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″. This year, we’ve manufactured over 200 tank valves for both domestic clients and overseas clients. Mainly including 8″, 10″ and 12″ valves for mud suction. Users are all satisfied with valves quality and our service. Aipu mud tank valves have been appreciated by regular clients.

To date, Aipu produced mainly the mud tank suction valve with screw operator by the handle wheel, also the suction valve with handle wheel. The flow pattern are two sides flow and elbow flow pattern.

Suction valve types

At the beginning we have the tank suction valves configured with handle wheel (We call it screw type operator). Now more and more users prefer suction valve with lever handle. Since the lever handle request less space and provide more convenience during operation. Moreover, lever type suction valves request less cost

Mud tank dump valves

Mud tank dump valves is another popular valve fit on mud tank. Some specifications are similar with mud tank suction valves. To get optimal dump valve to suit users’ demand we need to know the valve size (6″,8″,10″,12″, etc.) as well as the tank depth or user provide the valve general size.

Feature of mud tank valves by Aipu solids control

• The polished design adds structural integrity for a longer valve lifetime.

• Designed to make operation easier and reduce actuator size.

• Dirty water can wash out and escape the drive area, instead of drying or compacting over time, which can cause thread damage and failure.

• Our standard base design creates a bubble-tight seal around common debris, ensuring leak-free operation.

• As opposed to older fabrication techniques, our casting process enables our valves to have fewer components and joints, reducing the likelihood of failures.

• Configured for easy disassembly in the case of maintenance or replacement.

• Unique to our stainless steel design, the grout pocket allows the grout to be flush with the drain hole, enabling tanks to empty completely.

The tank valve height calculation

Firstly, confirm the valve body pipe size. Some valves made of the same tubes on both body and connection port, while some are different.

Then, confirm the tank height. The internal height.

Thirdly, confirm the internal pipe level.

Finally, if any special requirements on handling on the tank top.

Based on the above information, supplier or manufacturers can provide a general drawing. Against confirmation, the mud tank valve can be finished easily.
