Knife Gate Valve

A knife gate valve is used for thick fluids and dry bulk solids. The gate is only one piece of metal, which is typically pointed like a knife. These valves are self-cleaning as they pass the seat rings every time they open and close.

Knife gate valves are available with bodies made of cast iron, cast steel, stainless steel, fabricated steel, or exotic alloys depending on the specific application. While the gate is usually made of stainless steel, the yoke can be of similar materials to the valve bodies and may include a brass or bronze bearing. The seat seals can be elastomers or flexible metal.

KNIFE GATE VALVE are easy to actuate by mechanical, electrical or pneumatic means, and they are lightweight which makes them easier to transport, store, install and maintain (knife gate valves tend to be even lighter than resilient- or metal seated gate valves). They are also very cost-effective. Because of these attributes, knife gate valves have seen extensive use involving slurry, viscous fluids, and other applications where impingement is an issue and are used not only in pulp and paper production but are also widely used in municipal wastewater pumping stations and sewage treatment plants.
