Telescopic Valve
Precise Control of Sludge Withdrawal
Telescopic Valves are used in the sludge withdrawal systems of sedimentation tanks to regulate sludge flow.
Operating on the principle of hydraulic head difference, the required flow rate is adjusted by raising or lowering the telescopic tube using a handwheel-operated mechanism.
Telescopic Valves are available in both manual and actuator-operated versions for proportional flow control. The valve body and operating stem are manufactured from stainless steel, while the sealing element is made of oil-resistant and wear-resistant nitrile rubber to ensure reliable long-term performance.
Compared with pumped sludge withdrawal systems, Telescopic Valves offer a simpler design, resulting in lower operating and maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of Telescopic Valves compared with pumped sludge withdrawal systems?
Telescopic Valve systems feature a simpler mechanical design than pumped sludge withdrawal systems. Since no additional pumps or complex piping are required, both initial investment and operating costs are generally lower. They also consume less energy and require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution for sludge withdrawal.
Can Telescopic Valves be integrated into an automation system?
Telescopic Valves equipped with proportional actuators can be remotely controlled or integrated into plant automation systems. The valve opening can be adjusted precisely as required, ensuring continuous and reliable operation with minimal operator intervention.
