Our industrial Knife Gate Valves are precision-engineered solutions designed for the most demanding fluid control applications. Compliant with API 602 standards, these valves are specifically crafted to handle slurry, wastewater, and viscous media, ensuring a clean shut-off with minimal pressure drop across the system.
Built for versatility and durability, our range spans from 2" to 42" N.B. and supports multiple pressure classes including ANSI 150, PN6, PN10, and PN16. With a comprehensive selection of high-grade materials from cast carbon steel to exotic alloys, these valves provide unparalleled reliability in corrosive and high-temperature environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Knife Gate Valves feature a sharpened edge that can cut through thick slurries and viscous fluids, preventing the buildup of materials in the valve seat, which is a common failure point in standard gate valves.
For corrosive environments, we recommend F316 Stainless Steel or Duplex Stainless Steel for the body and disc, combined with PTFE seat rings for maximum chemical inertness.
Yes, our Knife Gate Valves are available with Electric, Pneumatic, or Hydrau-Pneumatic actuators to facilitate full integration into PLC-controlled automation systems.
We provide both Flanged and Wafer end connections, ensuring compatibility with various piping standards including ANSI 150 and PN6 through PN16.
Yes, manufacturing to NACE MR-01-75 is available upon request, ensuring the materials are suitable for sour gas and sulfide stress cracking environments.
EPDM is generally preferred for water-based applications and provides excellent elasticity, while PTFE is superior for chemical resistance and higher temperature stability.
