What is a Knife Gate Valve?
Knife gate valves are developed for mud and abrasive applications.They are frequently used especially in fluids containing abrasive particles.Because these valves cut off the flow of fluid with a blade (slide) perpendicular to the flow, they are called blade gate valves.This blade works by closing and opening vertically between two sealing rings.It is preferred that they work as fully open or fully closed. They are not suitable for precise flow control.
Knife gate valves are suitable for use in multi-fibrous fluids, such as paper industry and waste water lines. They provide full sealing with their one-piece body and elastomer (EPDM, NBR, NR) seat. They can also be produced with metal seat depending on their fluid properties. They can be flywheel, gear box, chain wheel, pneumatic actuator and electric actuator.
