KNIFE GATE VALVE

Valves Only, a reliable Knife Gate Valve Manufacturers in USA designed to handle thick liquids, slurry and solids in industrial applications. Our valves provide accurate flow control and minimal pressure drop, making them ideal for industries such as treatment of wastewater, mining, mass and paper and chemical processing.

Key Parts of a Knife Gate Valve:

1)Body: Made of cast iron, stainless steel, or ductile iron for durability.
2)Gate (Blade): A sharp-edged stainless steel plate that cuts through media.
3)Seat: Ensures a tight seal to prevent leaks.
4)Stem: Connects the actuator to the gate for smooth operation.
5)Actuator: Available in manual, pneumatic, or electric options for controlled operation.
6)Packing Gland: Prevents leakage and ensures proper sealing.

Working Mechanism:

Knife Gate Valve works by cutting through thick media using a gate with a sharp -edged gate and providing an uninterrupted flow path. When valve is open, gate lifts up completely so that the liquid can pass. When closure presses gate against the seat to prevent flow, you need to ensure a tight shutdown.

Advantages of Using Knife Gate Valve:

1)Handles Thick Media: Designed for slurries, powders, and viscous fluids.
2)Compact and Lightweight: Easy to install and maintain.
3)Minimal Pressure Drop: Allows smooth and efficient flow.
4)Versatile Applications: Suitable for wastewater, mining, pulp & paper, and chemical industries.

Industries:

1)Mining Industry
2)Pulp and Paper Industry
3)Wastewater Treatment Plant
