Knife Gate Valve Manufacturers

A knife gate valve is a valve that opens by lifting a round or rectangular gate/wedge out of the path of the fluid. The basic feature of this valve is the sealing surfaces between the gate and seats are planar. This is linear motion valve in which a flat closure element slides into the flow stream to provide shut-off. It is designed to minimize pressure drop across the valve in the fully opened position and stop the flow of fluid completely. It is suitable in applications involving slurries.
