For the handling of highly viscous fluids or media containing solid particles, a specialised valve, commonly referred to as a Knife Gate Valve, is employed to effectively cut through the liquid or solids. Unlike conventional valves, the Knife Gate Valve offers a unique flow control mechanism.

When the Gate Valve is opened, the flow path undergoes a significantly nonlinear enlargement, resulting in a non-uniform change in flow rate relative to the stem travel. This distinctive characteristic allows for precise control and modulation of the flow.

The Knife Gate Valve’s exceptional shut-off technique renders it suitable for a wide range of applications involving both fluids and dry media. It can effectively handle challenging substances such as pulp, sludge, biomass, powder, and various types of waste.
