Manual Knife Gate Valve
The manual knife gate valve is a reliable solution for the control of industrial liquid and solid fluids. Especially preferred for high particle environments, this type of valve offers precise adjustment with manual control.
What is a manual knife gate valve?
This type of valve has a sliding mechanism similar to a knife with a sharp edge. The valve opens or closes by means of a hand-turned lever. This system works especially efficiently in lines with dense sludge, granules or fibrous liquids. Thanks to its high pressure resistant structure, it provides a long service life.
Which sectors are preferred?
Manual knife gate valve is generally used in waste water treatment plants, paper industry and mineral processing. Because in these areas, the materials in the line can be dense and solid. In addition, the fact that the valve structure is suitable for quick intervention increases work safety. However, there are also such solutions in Unox industrial product groups.
Things to consider when choosing a manual valve
When selecting the valve, the pipe diameter, the properties of the fluid and the operating conditions of the plant should be taken into consideration. In addition, stainless steel valve body provides protection against corrosion. At this point, technical details can be accessed from the Unox Online product catalog. Products are diversified according to different connection types and pressure classes.
Advantages of manual knife valves
