Improved Knife Gate Design for Slurry Handling
A new line of knife gate slurry valves
from Larox Flowsys features industrial
cast-iron bodies and heavy-duty, stainless
steel gates along with standardequipment
flushing port, limit switch mount, locking gate and top and bottom
stem protectors. According to the
company, each knife gate valve now has
a heavier, thicker gate and a J-ring seat
design able to withstand higher pressures
than a conventional C-ring design.
Removable seats on both sides of
the blade provide a bi-directional, bubble-
tight seal in which no parts of the
metal are exposed to slurry. Three types
of knife gate valves are offered to cover
a wide range of applications; they
include flanged, wafer, and high-pressure
models, available with pressure
ratingd up to 300 psig and diameters
from 2–24 in.
