Description
Motorized Square Knife Gate Valve
The Flowtech Motorized Square Knife Gate Valve is specially engineered for reliable shut-off and flow control in demanding industrial applications involving abrasive, viscous, or solid-laden media. Manufactured using high-quality fabricated steel construction and integrated with a heavy-duty electric actuator, this valve delivers dependable automated performance with minimal maintenance.
The square-port design allows smooth flow handling in material conveying systems, while the knife-edge gate effectively cuts through thick fluids, sludge, slurry, powders, and fibrous materials to provide tight shut-off performance.
This valve is widely used in industries requiring automated material flow isolation and process control.
