It is designed with a single-piece cast body design. It is available with integral metal or replaceable soft seats, allowing for customization based on specific application requirements. The valve is easily automated for on/off applications, enhancing operational efficiency. This valve delivers optimal performance. From wastewater treatment plants to mining operations.
A uni-directional knife gate valve is an economic general-purpose valve that’s easy to operate both manually and actuated. Uni-directional knife gate valves, seal on just one side. They also tend to be prone to leaking when there is a possibility of debris build up, this is because of the cutting action of the blade.
The uni-directional knife gate valve can also be used in harsh aggressive environments, high temperatures.
Design & function
Design
● Body-Made in one strong piece casted Monoblock body.
● Seating wedges- it helps the knife to close against the body and seat.
● Directional arrow- within the body showing the correct mounting position.
● Internal design- it avoids any build up of solids that would prevent valves from
closing.
● Polished gate- with rounded edges prolongs the working life of the rings and
packing.
Function
A Knife valve is most useful in thick media which contains slurry and suspended fluids that are difficult to shut down while flowing. The knife-shaped sharp edge of the gate facilitates cutting through this thick fluid and blocks the way. So the Unidirectional knife gate valve is used in slurry operations, waste management, and in high viscous effluent discharge systems.
Food processing, oil processing, and a few chemical processing applications use knife gate valves to effectively manage the fluid flow.
