A knife gate valve is a shut-off valve, which means that it is used to start and stop the flow through a pipeline. It is mainly used in fluid-based applications and settings, especially those that involve a dense material.

A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid.

A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid.

A butterfly valve is a valve that isolates or regulates the flow of a fluid. The closing mechanism is a disk that rotates.

What is a knife gate valve used for?

Working principle of butterfly valve

Knife Gate Valves are commonly used in liquid, slurry and powder applications that include pulp and paper, bulk handling, mining, food, beverage, chemical and wastewater treatment designed for mainly on-off and isolation.

Equipment location: the equipment must be installed in a safe operating location that is easy to maintain, inspect and repair.

At present, stainless steel knife gate valve has been widely used in industrial production, it is a kind of excellent performance gate valve, compared with other materials, its advantages are particularly prominent, in the applicability of media, stainless steel knife gate valve has incomparable advantages of other materials.

Stainless steel pneumatic butterfly valve

Knife gate valve is also known as knife gate valve, knife gate valve, slurry valve, mud valve, its opening and closing parts are gate, the direction of the movement of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid, by cutting fiber material blade gate to cut off the medium, The two sealing faces of the most common type gate valve form a wedge.

A valve to block the backflow of medium

Large Butterfly Valves are usually comprised of a gearbox, where the hand wheel by gears is joined to the stem.

Knife gate valve has a shearing function to scrape off the sticky material on the seal face and remove debris automatically. The stainless steel gate prevents the seal from leaking due to corrosion. This article introduces the function and principle of knife gate valve.

Ok Valve adopts advanced static torque testing instruments to create special torque testing instruments for 36 "butterfly valves.
