Knife Edge Gate Valve

Description

Knife Edge Gate Valve Supplier in UAE

Ezzyflo is one of the leading Knife Edge Gate Valves supplier and exporter in UAE, Dubai. Our range of Knife Edge Gate Valves are specially developed for challenging applications. These valves have a one-piece, full port, fully lugged body made of stainless steel that is highly robustly built to handle applications that are extremely demanding and to ensure a higher flow capacity and less pressure drop. Our knife edge gate valves have gates constructed of high-quality SS and other premium metals that are machined with great surface quality on both sides to guarantee effective shutdown.

What is a knife Gate Valve?

Knife gate valves are primarily intended for isolation and on/off functions in systems that have a high suspended solids concentration. Knife gate valves are particularly useful for managing viscous, corrosive, and abrasive media in addition to slurry. The valves are somewhat light, easy to operate, have a minimal pressure loss when fully open, and are reasonably priced.

Where are knife gate valves used?

Knife gate valves usually have a sharpened blade to cut through thick liquids, and they are made to operate in some of the most challenging conditions.

In wastewater applications, where corrosion is a major problem, they are quite helpful. Therefore, having a knife made of acid-proof stainless steel is advantageous in addition to the valve design that is optimized for slurry medium. This is because the knife is less prone to corrosion-related problems, requiring less regular maintenance or even replacement.

Knife gate valves should not be used to control flow unless specifically made for that purpose. Instead, they should only be used in applications where the valve must be entirely open or closed.

Knife gate valves are typically found in medium-sized pipelines that carry raw materials for chemical production, pulp, slag, coal ash, and sewage. They are limited to being completely open and closed. They cannot be used to regulate flow; instead, they are employed as shut-off valves. The knife gate valve can be operated manually, pneumatically, electrically, etc.

Why use a knife gate valve?

Knife gate valves are popular because they are lightweight, inexpensive, and simple to use. Additionally, they work incredibly well in a variety of procedures and sectors. The sharp edge of these valves was intended to cut through the pulp and seal. These valves are quite helpful in applications involving slurry, viscous fluids, and other systems where impingement is a problem because of this kind of beneficial feature.

Advantages of a knife gate valve

Their sleek surfaces don’t pollute the fluid and are simple to clean. Quick Cutoff of Fluid Flow: Knife gate valves can quickly shut off fluid flow because of its quick closure capability. They are therefore helpful in emergency scenarios where a prompt flow cutoff is necessary.
