What are Knife Gate Valves?
A knife gate valve is a type of industrial valve designed to control the flow of fluids, slurries, and solid-laden media by using a sharp-edged gate to cut through the material. It is similar in design to gate valves and are commonly used in industries such as mining, wastewater treatment, pulp and paper, and chemical processing, where handling thick or abrasive substances is required.
A knife gate valve operates by raising a flat-edged plate, often referred to as a “knife,” to allow flow and lowering it to cut through any obstructions, ensuring a tight seal against a soft sealing surface. Due to this soft seal, these valves are typically suited for low-pressure applications rather than high-pressure systems. Both gate valves and knife gate valves are mainly designed for full shut-off or isolation rather than regulating or throttling flow.
The Main Features Of Flowrox Knife Gate Valve
The Slurry Flanged Knife Gate Valve SKF and Slurry Wafer Knife Gate Valve SKW are part of a new generation of knife gate valves. Our vast experience in delivering solutions for corrosive applications is reflected in the valve designs in this series.
- Even load distribution: Rings in the Flowrox SKF and Flowrox SKW have been revised to avoid over-compression by providing complete closure between the ring sleeve and the valve gate. To make maintenance easier, the load ring has been inserted into the valve sleeves.
- Acts freely: The valve’s universal tower design accepts most actuator types, enabling actuator change after installation. The tower also guarantees that the top plate, body, and actuator are aligned with the pipeline at all times and that the gate is in optimal alignment.
- It makes it simple: The valve body is of a single piece and takes away the need for sealing between the body halves.
Features Of Knife Gate Valves
- A sharp, heavyweight knife-like edge at the gate bottom ensures an effective shut-off by cutting through solid sediments.
- Bi-directional flow tolerates backflow
- 100% isolation
- Free flow of the process medium
- Only the ring sleeves in contact with the process medium
- Seats are easy to replace, can be maintained on-site, and are durable with long service life.
- Face-to-face dimensions according to industry standard
- The surface coating of the gate can be customized as per client requirements – chrome plating, nitriding, hard facing, etc.
