Knife Gate Valve Supplier in South Africa

African valve is the top Knife Gate Valve Supplier in South Africa. A knife gate valve is a specialized type of gate valve designed for applications involving the flow control of fluids with high concentrations of solids, such as slurries and viscous media. They have a wedge shaped gate or blade that acts as a closure element, sliding in and out and controlling the flow of fluids. Knife gate valves are commonly used in industries such as pulp and paper, wastewater treatment, mining, and bulk handling ensuring robust and effective solutions for fluid control and isolation.

Types of Knife Gate Valve:

● Uni-directional knife gate valve: Use to control the flow of fluid in one direction, effectively control slurries and challenging media, provide tight seal.

● Bi-directional knife gate valve: They control the flow in both the direction provide tight seal and effectively control slurries and viscous media

● Slurry knife gate valve: They are especially designed to handle slurry and viscous media, have sharp edged gate that cuts through thick, provide reliable flow control and a tight seal even under challenging conditions.

● Flanged knife gate valve: They handle abrasive and challenging media, using a sharp-edged gate to provide effective flow control and a reliable seal, they are easy to install.

● Through conduit knife gate valve: They are designed to handle large, solid particles or slurries, prevent from clogging and provides effective shut off and control.
