Knife Gate Valves
Achieve reliable shutoff, extend lifespan and lower total cost of ownership in light to heavy slurry services.
Achieve reliable shutoff, extend lifespan and lower total cost of ownership in light to heavy slurry services.
Knife gate valves are used for on-off services in slurry handling, with a sharp gate design to cut through solids. Knife gate valves offer simple design, rapid maintenance and are commonly used in industries like mining, pulp & paper and wastewater.
The Clarkson SU10R Knife Gate Valve is a medium slurry bidirectional isolation valve with a patented, fully replaceable, snap-in-place polyurethane liner that offers improved abrasion resistance.
Watch expert Mike Gordon explain how selecting the right urethane valve, like the Clarkson SU10R, can optimize your performance & increase profitability for your Mining and Mineral processing facilities.
Precision engineered seats delivering 100% insolation, time and time again
Upgrade your severe service knife gate valves to extend valve life and service intervals, and lower your total cost of ownership.
Designed for a range of on/off low to medium density slurry applications such as coal preparation plants, SU10R knife gate valve offers isolation with a field replaceable snap-in liner which protects the area from abrasion and corrosive slurries.
Constructed wafer-style with Mark III sleeve and zero leakage, Clarkson KGD valves are well suited for slurry service. A more robust support disc is incorporated into the one-piece design which resists over compression of the sleeve.
Isolation Valve FAQs
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.
