Knife Edge Gate Valve for Smooth Flow Control

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.

What Is a Knife Edge Gate Valve?

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.

Why Choose Knife Edge Gate Valve for Flow Control?

  • Superior Flow Regulation:The knife gate's streamlined and thin shape makes it easy for it to move through media, allowing for continuous and effective flow.
  • Minimal Pressure Loss:The valve provides a straight-through flow route, which considerably decreases pressure drop even when dealing with thick or abrasive fluids.
  • Bubble-Tight Shutoff:The tight-fitting design of knife edge gate valves keeps leaks at bay and ensures process safety, especially during shutdowns.
  • Low Maintenance Design:With fewer moving parts and a basic design, these valves are straightforward to maintain and cost-effective over time.
  • Suitable for Harsh Applications:From slurry to powder and fibrous pulp, these valves are designed to handle difficult media without jamming or clogging.
