Product Overview

The Hydraulic Knife Gate Valve is a high performance valve designed to control the flow of viscous, highly viscous, abrasive or solid particle laden media in demanding industrial applications. It is equipped with a hydraulic actuator to provide precise and controllable operation and is ideally suited for use in slurry, wastewater treatment, chemical processing, mining, and other industries where efficient isolation and flow control is required under harsh conditions. The valve features a rugged, sharp gate design that is ideal for cutting through viscous fluids and abrasive materials.

Product Characteristics

Hydraulic drive:
The valve is equipped with a hydraulic actuator for smooth and precise operation under high pressure conditions. The hydraulic power provides reliable and powerful control and is particularly suitable for large valves or systems requiring remote or automatic operation.

Knife gate design:
Knife gate valves have a sharp knife edge that easily shuts off slurries, thick fluids and media containing suspended solids. The unique design ensures smooth and efficient closure even when handling the toughest media.

Heavy Duty Construction:
Hydraulic knife gate valves are made of high quality materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel or ductile iron to withstand the harshest operating environments, including high pressure, high temperature and corrosive environments.

Two-way flow capacity:
The valves are designed for bi-directional flow and can be used in a variety of installations where the direction of media flow may change.

Reliable sealing:
The valves are available with metal-to-metal or elastomer seat seals depending on the application. This provides a reliable sealing mechanism capable of handling abrasive and viscous media. The valve is designed to minimize leakage, but not necessarily achieve zero leakage.

Low maintenance costs:
Hydraulic knife gate valves feature a low-maintenance design with a rugged hydraulic actuator and durable sealing materials that minimize wear even under extreme conditions.
