MOTORIZED KNIFE EDGE GATE VALVES

Description

Motorized knife gate valves are designed with a sharp-edged blade that slides across the valve seat, providing reliable shut-off for fluids and solids. The motorized actuator provides automated control, allowing for remote operation and precise positioning of the gate.

Benefits:

1. Reliable shut-off: The sharp-edged blade design ensures tight sealing, preventing leakage and minimizing downtime.
2. Automated control: The motorized actuator allows for remote operation and precise control, improving efficiency and reducing labor costs.
3. Versatility: Motorized knife gate valves are suitable for handling a wide range of fluids and solids, making them ideal for diverse industrial applications.
4. Low maintenance: The simple design of motorized knife gate valves minimizes the need for maintenance, resulting in cost savings over time.
5. Durability: Motorized knife gate valves are constructed with robust materials, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh environments.

Applications:

1. Mining and mineral processing: Motorized knife gate valves are used for slurry and tailings handling, as well as in flotation circuits.
2. Pulp and paper: They are employed in applications such as black liquor, wood chips, and waste water treatment.
3. Chemical and petrochemical: Motorized knife gate valves are used for handling abrasive or corrosive fluids in chemical and petrochemical processes.
4. Water and wastewater: They are used in water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, and irrigation systems for controlling the flow of liquids and solids.
5. Food and beverage: Motorized knife gate valves are used in food processing and beverage production for handling viscous fluids, slurries, and solids.

Technical Specifications:

1. Sizes: Typically available in sizes ranging from 2 inches to 48 inches or larger, depending on the manufacturer.
2. Pressure ratings: Can handle various pressure ratings, ranging from ANSI class 150 to 600 or higher.
3. Material construction: Body and gate materials can vary depending on the application, but commonly used materials include stainless steel, cast iron, and carbon steel.
4. Actuation: Motorized actuator options include electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic, with various control options available.
5. End connections: Can be designed with flanged, wafer, or lug-style connections, depending on the installation requirements.
