Knife Gate Valve

Knife Gate Valve Suppliers in UAE: Effective Isolation for Slurry and Solids

Middleeast valve is one of the largest Knife Gate Valve Suppliers in UAE. It is a type of industrial valve that is specifically designed for handling fluids containing suspended solids, slurries, or viscous materials.

Key Components of a Knife Gate Valve:

1)Body: The primary body of the valve that contains all the pieces.
2)Gate: A flat, metal blade with sharp edges that moves up and down to either open or shut off the flow.
3)Stem: The element that connects the gate and the actuator so that the gate can move.
4)Actuator: A device that facilitates the movement of the gate (can be manual, pneumatic, or electric).
5)Sealing Mechanism: Provides that the valve ensures a tight closure when closed.

Working Mechanism:

Knife gate valve function through application of sharp edge gate that oscillate up and down within valve body. When the valve is in the closed position, the gate compress tightly against valve seat to seal it. The gate will cut through very thick, and therefore, is perfectly suited for abrasive and slurry fluids. Manual or actuator operation can be used on the valve, depending on the application.

Advantages:

1)Longevity: Knife gate valves are designed to withstand abrasive and slurry materials with no wear and tear.
2)Seal Confirmation: The sharp gate makes sealing sure even under extreme conditions.
3)Less Maintenance: The easy design and heavy-duty construction minimize the maintenance process.
4)Cost-Effective: Knife gate valves are an economical solution for managing rugged fluids in harsh industries.
