Knife Gate Valves

Knife Gate Valves are specialized gate valves designed to handle challenging process conditions in various industries. Their unique design and carefully selected materials make them versatile, able to address a significant proportion of knife gate valve applications.

Working Mechanism:

Cutting Mechanism: Knife Gate Valves employ a sharp, knife-like gate to cut through the medium. This feature allows these valves to handle semi-solids, sludges, heavy oils, and other viscous fluids that standard gate valves may struggle with.

Sealing: When the valve is closed, the knife gate provides a seal against the flow, stopping the process flow entirely. When opened, it allows for free fluid flow.

Application features:

• Wide Industry Application: Knife Gate Valves are utilized across various sectors, including Pulp and Paper Industries, Chemical Plants, Waste Water Treatment Plants, Sewerage Works, Mineral Processing, Mining, and Food Processing Industries.
• Versatility: The design and materials used for Knife Gate Valves are intentionally chosen to cater to a wide range of applications. One product range can handle around 80% of all knife gate valve enquiries, demonstrating its extensive applicability.
• First Consideration: Due to their design and the variety of materials available, Knife Gate Valves are often the first type of valve considered when evaluating the correct product for a particular customer enquiry.
• Handling Difficult Fluids: With their knife-like gate, these valves are designed to handle semi-solid media, sludges, and other challenging media that traditional gate valves may struggle to manage.
• Flow Control: They offer excellent flow control capabilities, able to fully halt or allow process flow as required.
• Specialized Design: Knife Gate Valves feature a specialized design that allows them to handle more challenging process conditions than traditional gate valves.
