MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA (June 26, 2003) – Emerson Process Management introduces the Fisher® Slurry Vee-Ball® control valve. The valve provides a longer service life in metals and mining applications when compared with other valve types.

The Slurry Vee-Ball features a rugged construction, wear-resistant trim materials, and an unrestricted straight through flow path that make the design ideal for controlling the most abrasive of slurries. It is available in 3", 4", 6", 8", 10" and 12" sizes.

The Slurry Vee-Ball, when used with the Fisher FIELDVUE® digital valve controller, powers Emerson’s PlantWeb® digital plant architecture to deliver diagnostic data, further contributing to maintenance productivity by enabling proactive, scheduled maintenance.
