A slurry throttling valve - contact Weir / Warman or GIW to see what they have available
 
Type "slurry throttling valve" into google - I just did and got 66,900 hits.
 
Successful slurry throttling is an art. Which valve will be successful depends greatly on slurry properties (solid size, hardness, % solids and other properties), differential pressure, flow etc.

Erosion and plugging concerns are one thing. Erosion-corrosion is another. If your slurry is corrosive, or flashing, or both, that adds two more dimensions to an already multi-dimensional problem.
 
Try Red Valve. They custom make pinch valves.

You have not mentioned the slurry characteristics. Dense fly ash slurries have been successfully throttled with hard faced ball valves.

 
Vee-Balls work in polymer slurry. The low pressure is not a problem.
