The Body design

In traditional knife gate designs, the blade can become mis-aligned and stick during operation or fail to seat properly. In the new design, the blade is guided between the body halves during the entire travel, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. The fully guided blade prevents any flutter or warping of the blade due to changing process conditions. The body is cast with an internal profile to provide self-flushing corners to ensure solids do not build up in the seating areas. There are no cavities or dams in the bottom of the valve body. It provides, as standard, in a ductile or SS316 body with various mating flange configurations, or optionally, in and end-of-line service configuration.
