Overview of Gate Valve Products

■ Product Overview of Knife Gate Valve Manufacturer

The knife gate valve, also known as the knife sluice valve or knife-type slurry valve, was introduced to China in the 1980s. It finds applications across a remarkably wide range of industries—from coal preparation, gangue removal, and slag discharge in mines and power plants, to urban wastewater treatment; from slurry transportation in cement and paper mills, to specialized pipelines used in food, sanitation, and pharmaceutical industries. With its ultra-thin design, the knife gate valve boasts advantages such as small size, light weight, minimal flow resistance, no accumulation of residue, ease of installation, and simplicity of disassembly. These features thoroughly address the shortcomings of conventional valves—including gate valves, flat gate valves, ball valves, globe valves, control valves, and butterfly valves—such as large flow resistance, bulky footprint, tendency to accumulate residue, and difficulties in installation and maintenance. As a result, numerous general-purpose shut-off valves and regulating gates have been replaced by knife gate valves.

■ Media Suitable for Knife Gate Valves

Gold ore powder, tailings, mineral sand, slag, coal slime, sand and gravel, steel slag, pulp, wood pulp, cement slurry, fibers, dust, powders, crystals, chemically treated wastewater, slaughterhouse effluent, municipal sewage, settled oil, asphalt, silo outlets, fruits, grains, beer, beverages, oils, steam, gas transmission, as well as power plant water supply and drainage, and slag disposal.

■ Instructions for Selecting Knife Gate Valves

1. When making a purchase, users must specify the valve’s operating conditions, fluid medium, working pressure, medium temperature, nominal diameter, valve material, and quantity.

2. If the required valves have special requirements, the customer must provide detailed drawings and specify these requirements in the purchase and sale contract. Our company will manufacture the valves according to the customer’s specifications.

3. Unless otherwise specified, the valve actuator brand and model shall be the standard model provided by our company.
