What Is A Knife Gates Valve?
Blade valves are a type of valve that works with the up-down movement of a single straight shoot (plate in the form of a knife) that allows full transition. When the blade is fully opened, there is no structure that will resist the flow, and dense sludge or solid-practical fluids may pass through the valve. It is the ideal solution especially for heavy process fluids such as mud, waste water, raw water, pulp.
