In sectors where the management of dense, viscous, or abrasive substances is integral to daily functions, controlling flow presents a significant challenge. To effectively address such rigorous applications, a solution that is both highly reliable and precise is crucial — this is where the Knife Edge Gate Valve proves invaluable.
Process Equipment Corporation produces high-performance Knife Edge Gate Valves that ensure smooth, leak-proof, and unobstructed flow control, even in the most challenging industrial settings.
A Knife Edge Gate Valve is a particularly constructed valve with a sharp-edged blade capable of cutting through thick slurries, semi-solids, and fibrous materials effortlessly. It is widely employed in several industries, including power plants, paper and pulp, mining, wastewater treatment, cement, and chemical processing.This valve has a low pressure drop and a tight shutdown, making it a reliable alternative for isolation and flow control in harsh settings.
The knife gate's streamlined and thin shape makes it easy for it to move through media, allowing for continuous and effective flow.
The valve provides a straight-through flow route, which considerably decreases pressure drop even when dealing with thick or abrasive fluids.
The tight-fitting design of knife edge gate valves keeps leaks at bay and ensures process safety, especially during shutdowns.
With fewer moving parts and a basic design, these valves are straightforward to maintain and cost-effective over time.
From slurry to powder and fibrous pulp, these valves are designed to handle difficult media without jamming or clogging.
