Knife gate valve are named for its sharp, knife-like disc, which could be used for cutting medium. The groove around the seat permits the gate to push particles aside and prevents clogging. When the valve is open, the flow cleans the groove. Seat is outside the flow area resulting in higher flow coefficient with minimum pressure drop.
Our knife gate valves are available in various designs, one-piece body and two-piece bodies, rising Stem and non-rising stem, uni-direction and bi-direction structures, resilient and metal seat rings, bonnetless and bolted bonnet designs. For optional designs, deflection cone could divert the flow of abrasive slurries and protect valve seat from abrasion, V port disc and through conduit design are used for throttling service, per customers' requirements.
