Detailed Overview
Knife edge gate valve is a valve that is suitable for use where tight control and fluid flow shut-off are required, “IVM” Knife Edge Gate valves are designed specifically to withstand the worst working conditions in Mining, Steel, Coal, Cement, Power, Sugar, Pulp & Paper and Chemical process industries to Handle Solids, Semi Solids, Powder, Fly Ash, Chips, Pulp, and Liquid etc.
“IVM” Knife Edge Gate Valve are highly engineered with dependability. Best suited to high temperature applications. The razor-sharp edge on the gate has the ability to slice through solids and slurries, rendering the valve ideal for dealing with abrasive or viscous materials that could jam other styles of valves. Our Knife Edge Gate Valves Delivers a solid and leak-free shutoff, such that no fluid will pass through when the valve is closed.
“IVM” Offers Deflection cone in Hard materials such as Ni. Difficult to avoid hammering of abrasive liquids on seat directly thereby increasing the life of it, as per customer order. For abrasive material handling, Knife edge and Seat surface areas are hard faced with Satellite or other appropriate material to minimize the erosion on Seat Area.

- Leakage Prevention
- Non-Clogging
- Bidirectional Flow
Key Features
- Knife-edge Gate Design : The gate is designed with a knife-like tapered, sharp edge to cut through heavy fluids, slurries, and even solids. This offers better sealing and control of flow in challenging applications.
- Tight Shutoff : The knife-edge on the gate allows for a close shutoff that prevents the pipeline from leaking. The knife-edge is particularly helpful in shutting off abrasive or viscous substances.
- Minimal Wear : Because of the ragged edge, the valve is less susceptible to wear compared to other gate valves while handling thick or abrasive materials. This makes the life of the valve longer, especially in harsh environments.
- Smooth Path of Flow : Once fully opened, it leaves behind a comparatively smooth path of flow with minimal obstruction and is therefore less likely to create turbulence and pressure drops.
