Knife gate valve

Designed for on-off and isolation service in pipelines.

Ideal for handling slurry, viscous fluids, powders, and bulk solids.

Commonly used in wastewater treatment, mining, pulp & paper, cement, and chemical industries.

Provides a tight shut-off by cutting through thick fluids or suspended solids.

Operates well in low-pressure applications.

Reduces risk of clogging compared to conventional valves.

Can cut through fibrous or abrasive materials due to its sharp-edged gate.

Allows bidirectional or unidirectional flow control depending on design.

Often installed in large diameter pipelines where low-pressure drop is needed.

Suited for isolation, not for throttling (not precise for flow control).
