Knife Gate Valves

Achieve reliable shutoff, longer service life and lower total cost of ownership in utility service to severe slurry.

Specify valves with zero leakage to maximize production

We manufacture knife gate valves for light to heavy slurry service in the mining and mineral processing, power, pulp and paper, waste water and chemical industries. In critical slurry applications where absolute zero downstream leakage is essential, these high performance knife gate valves can be relied on to deliver a 100% bubble-tight isolation shut off every time. Offering a cost effective isolation and control solution, these products provide high performance and increased sensitivity to the environment to help reduce customer risk and maximize production.

Frequently Asked Questions for Knife Gate Valves

A knife gate valve is a valve that uses a knife edge to cut through solids content that could prevent the valve from sealing completely.

Knife gate valves are used for light to heavy slurry service in the mining and mineral processing, power, pulp and paper, waste water and chemical industries. 

A knife gate valve comes with a sharp gate that moves up and down by a screw mechanism, a seat through which the gate moves, and packing material to prevent leaks.
