What is a knife gate valve

Knife gate valve, also known as knife gate valve, knife-type slurry valve, in less than two decades, its scope of use has expanded from ordinary fields to a wider range of industries. Coal preparation, gangue discharge and slag discharge from mines and power plants. It has developed into urban sewage treatment, and has developed from general industrial pipelines to professional pipeline systems such as food, sanitation, and medicine. The ultra-thin knife gate valve completely solves the large flow resistance of ordinary gate valves, flat gate valves, ball valves, globe valves, regulating valves, butterfly valves, etc. with its advantages of small size, small flow resistance, light weight, easy installation, and easy disassembly. , Heavy weight, difficult installation, large area and other difficult problems. After the emergence of knife gate valves, a large number of general shut-off valves and regulating valves have been replaced. To date, the world's largest consumption of knife gate valves is the United States and Japan.

Advantages of knife gate valve

1. Good sealing effect, U-shaped gasket has good elasticity.
2. Full-diameter design, strong passing ability.
3. Good brake-off effect, can effectively solve the leakage phenomenon of media containing ice, particles and fiber after brake-off.
4. Convenient maintenance, the seals of the valve can be replaced without removing the valve

Advantages of knife gate valve

Simple structure

The structure of the knife gate valve is simple, the opening and closing part is a gate, and the movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. It is small in size, flexible in operation, and easy to install. It is more suitable for media with higher consistency and solid particles.

Knife gate valve classification

Rigid gate

Because of its short body structure, light and thin gate, and two sealing surfaces, the two sealing surfaces of the most commonly used mode gate valve form a wedge. The wedge angle varies with valve parameters, usually 50. The plate can be made into a whole, called a rigid gate

Frequently Asked Question

Do you have any question?

A knife gate valve is a component that utilizes a blade to cut through clogging of heavy liquids; whereas a slide gate valve is a component utilizing a slide plate in order to better manipulate or control the flow of dry bulk material. Knife gate valves were originally designed for use in the pulp and paper industry.

Knife gate valves should only be used for applications requiring a completely open or completely closed position and should not be used to regulate flow unless they are designed for it. Whenever fluid is forced against a partially closed gate, there will be a vibration, gradually eroding the disc and seat.

A knife gate valve works by allowing thick media to easily flow over soft seals with no interference. They work by chopping up the media as it passes through the valve. Today knife gate valves are used in numerous processing plants all over the world and come in large sizes.
