KGD Wafer Style Knife Gate Valve
AFC Slurry Knife Gate Valve with features of heavy duty, full port elastomer sleeves offering ultimate isolation against heavy slurries. The valves could meet a wide range of abrasion, corrosion, temperature and pressure requirements, which may be used in wet or dry services dealing with large, heavy particles and tramp materials.
General Applications
• Mining
• Pulp and paper
• Steel/Metals
• Cement
• Power
• Phosphates
• Chemical
Features
• 100% Isolation; bubble-tight shut-off results in absolutely zero downstream leakage.
• Double-seated design provides bidirectional flow and shut-off.
• Unobstructed flow eliminates turbulence, minimizes pressure drop across valve.
• No seat cavity where solids can collect and prevent full gate closure.
• Dynamic self-adjusting secondary seal.
• No gate or stem packing is required, eliminating packing leakage and maintenance.
• Long lasting lubrication.
• No metal parts in contact with the flowing slurry.
• Adaptable frame (yoke) design featuring a top-removal stem nut, can be field modified to an air cylinder or bevel gear in the field without welding.
