As an option, sliding gate plates are also available in carbon, so that an excellent seal is assured even at very high temperatures with a hard/soft combination of materials. The very short stroke is also a factor in service life: short motion paths and switching times protect the packing and the actuator. In the sliding gate valve, both are subject to substantially lower loads. Even after many years, many sliding gate valves reveal no traces of wear either on the diaphragm or in the packing area.

The body length of sliding gate valves is extremely short so that they fit easily between two flanges and are easy to handle – including its actuator a DN 150 weighs no more than 14.2 kg. So it only takes one person for removal, installation and maintenance. Sliding gate valves are available in sizes DN 15 to DN 250 for pressures up to PN 100 and media temperatures from –100 °C to 350 °C (max. 530 °C).
