Knife Edge Gate Valves: 5 Design Features for Clog-Free Operation

Knife Edge Gate Valves: 5 Design Features for Clog-Free Operation

Blog /

Standard gate valves often fail in slurry and heavy-media applications because solids get trapped in the seat pocket, preventing a full close. Knife Edge Gate Valves solve this by design. Featuring a sharp, beveled blade that shears through media and a specialized flow path, these valves are the ultimate solution for paper pulp, wastewater, and thick slurry. Here are the 5 design features that ensure your flow control stays clog-free.
