Bray’s SlurryTuff™ brand includes the MAXI-CHECK line of ball check valves and ball check isolation valves. Available in high pressure high wear, low pressure & low wear and dual function check/isolation models. They are designed to prevent reverse flow, and in the case of the Model I, prevent reverse flow with isolation.
> Specifically designed for extreme applications, such as slurry, ash disposal, and mine dewatering that produce heavy scale (such as salts).
> CWP of 7 to 150 bar (100 to 2175 psi). > Standard operating temperature up to 80°C (176°F).
Engineered for slurry service, MAXI-CHECK operating features include: > Full bore design — provides unrestricted flow ensuring low pressure loss and minimum back pressure to seal.
> Large port — prevents clogging.
> High-wear resistant seat and ball design — offers large sealing area, to provide drip-tight sealing under all conditions.
> Sinking ball design – preferred for applications involving viscous liquids or slurries. > Self-cleaning — the ball rotates during operation eliminating the risk of impurities adhering to the ball.
> Fabricated design — low weight and allows for inline repairs.
> Operation — suitable for horizontal or vertical applications
> Slurry pipelines
> Power plant ash disposal
> Mine dewatering
> Pipelines with scale
> Pulp & paper
> Water & wastewater
> High pressure pipelines

For high-pressure applications over 35 bar, the Model H & Model I valves use a 40 SHORE hardness molded rubber annular seal.
Bubble tight shut-off is achieved by back pressure forcing the seal against the ball.

Ball Check Valve with Isolation
This valve features mechanical isolation ensuring the ball is held in the closed position. The valve comes fully lined with natural rubber, and polyurethane coated ball as standard. It can be confi gured to suit your particular service conditions with a choice of liner materials, ball types and actuation options.
(refer to page 5 for material options)
When the pump starts, the pressure forces the ball off the seat and into the tower. When the pump stops, the ball returns to the seat and is held in the closed position by the back pressure creating a positive seal. The valve can now be isolated using the bevel gear operator or actuator to mechanically hold the ball in the seat to achieve valve isolation.
Ball Check Valve
The valve utilizes the same valve design as the fully featured model I. However it does not provide valve isolation. The valve can be confi gured to suit your particular service conditions with a choice of liner materials and ball types. (refer to page 5 for material options)
Ball Check Valve
Robust, simple and cost-effective one-piece body. Designed with the same face to face dimensions as a swing check allows a direct replacement without the need for pipe modifi cations and spool pieces. The valve comes unlined as standard.
However, rubber-lined is available on request. Bubble tight shut-off is achieved by back pressure forcing the ball against the integral body steel seat. The advantage of this compact design is a single moving part and no external components ensuring ongoing reliability.
1 ORIENTATION: Suitable for horizontal or vertical installations without any customization required. 2 CONSTRUCTION: Full bore design and simple construction ensures low pressure drop and minimum back pressure to seal.
3 BALL: Self cleaning urethane-coated, aluminum core, stainless steel or silica bronze ball rotates with the fl ow, preventing scale build up.
