ValvesOnly is the leading Pneumatic Knife Gate Valve Supplier in Europe. Pneumatic Knife Gate Valves are designed for the fluid control especially substances which are Viscous and abrasive in nature. It operates using compressed air or gas to move the gate up or down. This mechanism effectively opens or closes the valve. The knife Gate provides tight sealing and helps prevent any leakages. It is widely used in Industries to control the flow of thick fluids. The pneumatic actuator allows quick and easy operation, makes it ideal for wide range of applications that require frequent opening and closure. It is highly durable and can withstand harsh environments. It is commonly used in industries like mining sectors, wastewater treatment plants, pulp and paper manufacturing units, etc, due to its ability to handle various types of media.
Working Principle
It works using compressed air for controlling the movement of the Gate, this is designed for cutting through thick fluids and slurries.
1. Actuation: the pneumatic actuator which is within the valve system, uses compressed air to move the piston and stem mechanism
2. Opening: when the actuator is supplied with the compressed air, it pushes the piston, and then turns the gate to rise. This mechanism opens the valve and allows the fluid to pass through it.
3. Closing: the air supply is reversed to close the valve. So the piston moves in the opposite direction and lowers the gate. Thus, the gate will block any debris or slurry components and ensures a tight seal.
Main features
1. Heavy duty construction: oversized Air cylinder is for robust performances.
2. Sealing: it provides resilient seats against pressure and vacuum
3. Actuation: pneumatic actuators, provides quick and reliable functions
4. Versatility: handles different fluid types like slurry components, viscous liquids, abrasive materials, etc.
5. Highly durable and efficient
6. Easy to maintain, as it has fewer moving parts. Thus, saving time and costs.
7. Space saving, due to its compactible design, makes it ideal for use in applications with limited space.
