Typical Applications
The table shows typical application areas for Saunders diaphragm valves under four categories,
Abrasive, Corrosive, Industrial and Aseptic.
Abrasive
Minerals processing,
chemicals, fertilisers,
china clay, paper,
power generation are
some of the industries
that rely on Saunders
KB Type diaphragm
valves to withstand a
wide variety of abrasive
service conditions.
Ores – phosphate rock
or bauxite in aggregate
form, slurries such as
gypsum in power plant
de-sulphurisation,
powders – titanium
dioxide in pigment
application are typical
service examples.
Applications requiring a
combination of
corrosion and abrasion
resistance, such as
phosphate
rock/sulphuric acid,
together with reliability
and long service life are
also well catered for by
the Saunders KB
range.

fluoropolymer linings,
designed to combat
corrosion.
Industrial
Saunders valves are
widely used on utility
(air, water, and gas)
service lines. Also, as
most process plants
have an effluent
treatment system there
are many applications
where Saunders
valves can be used
successfully: –
The Food Industry –
Saunders valves are
widely used on
margarine, yogurt and
corn processing plants.
In the Transport
Industries Saunders
have found success in
the marine sector as
mentioned earlier, in
the automobile sector
on service lines and
paint coating systems
and on road and
rail tankers.

Saunders is a key
player in the evolution
of high purity valve
technology.
The top ten
pharmaceutical
companies in the world
head our international
customer base.
Saunders extensive
range of valves
designed for the
pharmaceutical
industry are detailed in
other dedicated
literature available
