What Is COVNA Pneumatic Knife Gate Valve?
Pneumatic knife gate valve is a relatively complex automatic control, which is composed of a variety of pneumatic components and valve bodies. It is suitable for medium pipelines such as syrup, paper pulp, sewage, coal slurry, ash, dust, and slag-water mixture.
In the past, such as in paper industry applications, viscous pulp can get stuck in the valve seat of ordinary gate valve and prevent the valve from closing, causing the valve seal to leak, but the knife gate valve is specially designed so that the valve has a sharp edge, which can be cut open viscous media and seal to prevent leakage.
Pneumatic actuators are the most affordable and economical way to drive a knife gate valve. Because knife gate valves are only suitable for on-off use, not media modulating applications, the design features are ideal for installing pneumatic actuators.
Pneumatic knife gate valves are mostly used in occasions requiring quick shut-off or opening, the gate has a shearing function, which can scrape off the adhesive on the sealing surface and automatically remove the sundries. Due to this special design, pneumatic knife gate valves are very effective in applications involving viscous fluids, slurries and other media.
