Sandbuster™ Slab Gate Valve
The Sandbuster™ Slab Gate Valve is a high-performance, bidirectional slab gate valve ideal for fracturing service operations with working pressures of 10,000 psi through 15,000 psi. The unique, angled-corner design (patent pending) of the Sandbuster assembly enables the gate to cut through sand and other abrasive materials in fracturing fluids that are trapped in the valve body cavity. The valve's maintenance costs are reduced, service life is extended, and the operational uptime is maximized.
