Knife Valve

Knife Gate Valve Works By Allowing Thick Media To Easily Flow Over Soft Seals With No Interference. They Work By Chopping Up The Media As It Passes Through The Valve. This Makes It Easier For The Valve To Handle Thick Flows Of Media Including Grease, Oils, Slurry, Wastewater, And Paper Pulp.

One Of The Differences Between The Gate And The Knife Gate Valves, Is That The Knife Gate Valve Often Has A Sharpened Disc To Better Cut Through Slurry/Viscous Media. Also, The Knife Gate Valve Has A Short Face-To-Face Length Compared To A Gate Valve, Which Is Dimensionally Wider. As A Consequence, A Knife Gate Valve Is Lightweight Compared To A Gate Valve. These Are The Main Differences And Probably Two Of The Biggest Advantages Of The Knife Gate Valve
