Stainless Steel Manual Knife Gate Valve
The stainless steel manual knife gate valve is used in industrial facilities to control liquid and semi-solid fluids. The valve body is manufactured with high-strength materials, providing long-lasting performance even in highly corrosive environments. Flow control is achieved by moving the knife-shaped gate up and down, which is operated manually by the user. When the valve is open, fluid passage is allowed; when closed, the flow is completely blocked.
Notable for its simple and mechanical design, this type of valve allows easy maintenance. Additionally, it offers an economical solution as it operates without requiring external energy. The fluid pressure acts directly on the gate, maximizing tightness. It is typically preferred in lines carrying low-pressure, high-viscosity fluids
No special equipment is required during installation. Thanks to the flanged connections, it can be easily mounted onto pipeline systems. During operation, it provides high performance and reliability.
Where to use?
Manual knife gate valves have a wide range of applications. They are used for sludge transfer in water treatment plants, for controlling acidic or alkaline fluids in the chemical industry, and for transporting highly viscous liquids in paper and pulp facilities. They are also commonly used in wastewater or sewage systems. In the food and beverage industry, they can be safely applied due to their compliance with hygienic standards.
