Slurry knife gate valves are required for industries that involve abrasive or corrosive materials or thick, viscous fluids. A special knife gate valve, designed to cut through thick, solid-laden fluids provides isolation and shut-off functions against harsh industrial environments including mining, chemical processing, wastewater treatment and power generation.

Benefits of using Slurry Knife Gate Valves

• Bi-Directional Shutoff
  Slurry knife gate valves provide a bubble-tight shutoff in both directions, ensuring leak-free operations even with abrasive or corrosive media. This flexibility makes them suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications.
• Long-Term and Low Maintenance
  These valves are built to handle the toughest materials, such as abrasive slurries in mining or chemical slurries in processing plants. Their ease of maintenance with features like replaceable sleeves and flush ports, helps minimise downtime and extend operational life.
• Ability to Work with Variety of Materials
  Slurry Knife Gate Valves are available in a variety of materials, including Cast/Ductile Iron, Stainless Steel (CF8M) and Duplex 2205, making them suitable for handling various kinds of corrosive and very high-abrasive fluid mediums. Seat materials such as Natural Rubber, EPDM, Polyurethane, PTFE, Viton enhance the sealing performance
• Enhanced Features
  Additional features, such as deflection cones and non-rising stems, further improve performance and fluid handling. Meanwhile accessories like solenoid valves and limit switches ensure smooth control and monitoring.

Industries Benefiting from Slurry Knife Gate Valves

• Mining and Mineral Processing
  Slurry knife gate valves are ideal for mining operations, handling abrasive slurries and tailings with ease.
• Chemical Processing
  These valves resist corrosion, making them suitable for handling aggressive chemicals safely and efficiently.
• Pulp and Paper Industry
  Slurry knife gate valves can cut through fibrous slurries, ensuring smooth operation in paper production processes.
• Wastewater Treatment
  These valves provide reliable isolation in sludge and debris-filled environments, ensuring leak-free operation in wastewater systems.
• Power Generation
• Slurry knife gate valves are critical in power plant operations for handling ash slurries, gypsum slurries, limestone slurries, mill rejects and raw water.

In conclusion, It has been shown that slurry knife gate valves are reliable, versatile solutions for industries managing abrasive, corrosive and problematic media. Their strong design, easy maintenance and variety of materials and actuation options make them indispensable in such tough industrial applications. Find your perfect valves from V-TORK CONTROLS today!
