Coal has contributed to our quality of life for over 4000 years. Today’s technologies range
from sophisticated mining methods to techniques providing cleaner and more efficient ways
of using coal. Coal is a significant source of heat generation for power, steel
manufacturing, pulp, paper and cement processing. Coal can be mined underground and
above ground depending on the geology, the quality and the costs to extract the coal.
Known coal reserves can support the growth for hundreds of years to come.
Townley’s Experience in coal handling extends back to the beginning of our company. We strategically located our factories near most coal mining areas in the States and employ many specialists with practical product application experience in coal mining and coal prep, especially metallurgical coal processing.

WRK
Slurry Pump - A compelling alternative to the complicated wet-end
assemblies found in the installed base of Warman, ASH, Hazleton, AC and
other OEM pumps. Consisting of only 4 main parts with convenient lifting
eyes, these pump are designed to bolt to your drive, fit exactly to your
existing piping and meet all performance specifications. Finally a pump
the maintenance crew actually likes! Sizes from 350, 450, 550 any many
others on request.
Pump
Parts - Townley has an extensive inventory of parts and patterns
for most common slurry pumps in service. We can provide improved wear
with proper material selection. Cast alloys, replaceable urethane liners
or permanent urethane lined shells, impellers and suction plates.
Series
1000 Suction & Discharge hose - Reduce vibration and provide
easy transition for older plants with fit problems. Available in straight,
reducer with outlets or taps. Eliminate OEM multiple pipe assemblies with
one P/N. Most any lengths, wear tubes material and I.D.
Super Flex Hose - This versatile hose has found new
use in coal plants, especially in tailing and transfer lines as a strain
relief for rigid pipe and to ease runs over uneven terrain. Also can be
found in suction and discharge use where severe flexure is required. In
the process plant, this universal hose is used as a replacement for high
wear rigid pipe and areas where 3D movement is expected
Expansion
Joints - Suction or discharge, straight, reducing or of-set.
We custom build to suit your application
MSP
Submersible Slurry Pump - Cost effective replacement for vertical
cantilever style sump pumps. Available in 2”- 10” with 5-150
HP. Standard high-chrome wetted parts. Easily moved with lifting bail
and Townley flex discharge hose. Perfect for coal tunnel, sumps and waste
water runoff. Optional multiple sensor protection box to ensure pump life.
80TP
Knife Gate Valve - Townley’s most versatile bi-directional
valve features a unique bonded-in Towniprene urethane lined body and seat.
Coupled with a precision stainless steel gate & stem, this valve is
perfect for slurry diversion and isolation with assurance of easy actuation
when you need it. The unique flush bottom of the seal ensures no clogging
or trapping of debris to prevent positive sealing. Townley offers a complete
rebuild service back to factory specifications.. Available in 2”
to 96” I.D.
80BA
Knife Gate Valve - For severe duty, this rugged, bi-directional
valve features high-chrome inserts at the face to resist impact and abrasion
found in harsh coal by-product applications or aggregate isolation or
diversion. The inserts are locked and sealed in-place with the same urethane
seat as the 80TP. This is a great valve for those tougher circuits. Townley
offers a complete rebuild service back to factory specifications.
80SCEHA
- This self contained electric powered hydaulic valve is perfect
for remote or isolated areas of your plant where factory air and hydraulic
lines are not practical. AC or DC these units can be remotely actuated
with a “DeviceNet™” interface. Especially useful in
settling ponds or containment areas.
Series
150 Heavy Duty Slurry - This heavy duty, high pressure fabricated
valve can be customized for your application with seats constructed of
wear and chemical resistant alloys or Towniprene urethane. Features an
easy open gate when under high pressure while handling slurries or coal
ash. Perfect for Bottom ash use where custom drilling or custom dimensioning
is required along with higher pressure service.
TM
1&2 Super-Slurry Butterfly Valve - This high-performance
fine slurry valve is designed to be leak free under pressure and provide
extreme wear resistance due to the “cast-in” Towniprene lining
and elastomer coated or stainless disc. With a bubble snap fit this valve
is suitable for fine slurries, salt water dilute acids and oils.
TM
3&4 High-Pressure Butterfly Valve - This premium valve is
designed with a metal reinforced cartridge style EPDM lining that will
not blow out in high flow or high pressure applications. The precision
disc is available in cast 316 SS or nickel plated ductile iron. Perfect
for throttling or isolation of phosphate or limestone slurries.
Pinch
Valve - With self centering closure, properly sized pinch bars
and robust flexible hose, this pinch tube will wear uniformly without
crazing or cracking. Used to modulate material flow, this has a good utility
to price ratio. Includes safety cage.
Hydrocyclones,
classifying or de-watering - Townley High-performance cyclones
are designed and manufactured with a Towniprene urethane cone body and
bolted apex. Constructed with a urethane lined tangential feed chamber,
fluid pressure is converted into rotational momentum, providing centrifugal
classification or de-watering of solids from slurry. Featuring durable
one piece urethane cone body to retain shape and reduce wear ridges. Custom
fit to your application, 4” thru 48”cone body with all critical
parameters designed to suit application requirements.
Custom
Overflows - apex splash guards, distribution headers and launderers
are available to meet your specifications
Urethane
Gaskets and Wedges - Maintenance friendly describes these simple
products found in many power plants. Especially useful for older plants
to offset misaligned fittings or couplings. Wedges can be used for slight
turns in pipe without the expense of fabricated pipe. Designed with a
handle to ensure precise alignment between flanges, this feature doubles
as a “finger saver”. Townley can easily design custom sizes
