Description
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
Knife Edge Gate Valve Special Features
- Cutting Action Design
- Ideal for Slurry Applications
- Robust Construction
- Leakage Prevention
- Non-Clogging
- Bidirectional Flow
Key Features
- Knife-edge Gate Design : The gate has a tapered, sharp edge like a knife to slice through heavy fluids, slurries, and even solids. This provides more sealing and control of flow in difficult applications.
- Effective Shutoff : The gate's sharp edge facilitates a tight shutoff, keeping the pipeline from leaking. The knife-edge is especially beneficial in shutting off abrasive or viscous materials.
- Minimal Wear : Due to its ragged edge, the valve is less liable to wear than other gate valves when dealing with abrasive or thick materials. This prolongs the life of the valve, particularly in extreme environments.
- Smooth Path of Flow : After being fully opened, it leaves a relatively smooth flow passage with minimum obstruction and hence is less prone to generate turbulence and pressure drops.
