Knife Gate Valve

LibertyCES has documented Knife Gate Valve specified across 6 sector applications, including FGD / Ash Handling / Coal Preparation / Slag Granulation / Heavy Media, Mining, Pulp & Paper and Municipal Wastewater.

Knife Gate Valve is specified for Mining applications — examples include AVCO 6100 Series Knife Gate Valve (2"-24", ANSI Class 150, 150# lug ends; body/shim 304SS, 316SS or Hastelloy; Standard, V-Port or Deflector Cone port; Metal, Buna, EPDM, Neoprene or Viton seats with Metal and EPDM most common; handwheel with grease nipple and protective stem cover; full pneumatic actuator/solenoid/positioner kits; literature 6000-Series-CD230620.pdf and 6100-Series-IOM-Manual-CD230929.pdf). This is well-documented in LibertyCES's field data.

Knife Gate Valve has documented compatibility with Food/Beverage/Biological Process Fluids Materials to confirm: 304SS, 316SS, Hastelloy body and shim, EPDM, Buna, Neoprene, Viton or Metal seats, Flowline chart: 316SS rates G on sulfite liquor 6% at both 40°C and 80°C, and drops to C on white liquor at 80°C — pulp/paper process liquors are harder on stainless than they look. Specific chemicals include sulfite liquor 6%, white liquor, beet sugar liquors, starch slurry, food-processing solids streams.
