Electric Knife Gate Valve: Features, Applications and Selection Guide

In modern industry, Electric Knife Gate Valve is an important equipment in fluid control system. In this article, DELCO Valve will explain in detail its features and application areas to help you better understand and apply.

Working Principle of Electric Knife Gate Valve

The Electric Knife Gate Valve opens or closes the valve by means of a knife gate driven by an electric actuator. The gate of the knife gate valve moves vertically and is connected to the actuator through the valve stem. When the gate is lowered, the gate fits tightly against the valve seat, closing the valve and preventing the passage of fluid. Conversely, when the gate rises, the valve opens, allowing fluid to flow smoothly.

Features of Electric Knife Gate Valves

  • Knife gate design can effectively cut off the high viscosity or solid particles in the medium, to ensure that the fluid passage is unobstructed.
  • Electric actuators provide precise opening and closing control for remote operation and automation systems.
  • The valve body can be made of stainless steel or cast iron for corrosive or highly abrasive media.

Applications

  • Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Knife gate valves are used to cut off and regulate wastewater flow.
  • Coal and ore transportation: Knife gate valves are used to control the flow of materials.  
  • Food and Pharmaceutical: Knife gate valves are used in the food and pharmaceutical industries to control the flow of fluids with sealing performance and hygienic design to meet high cleanliness requirements.
  • Power and water treatment: Knife gate valves are used to control the flow of cooling water, circulating water and chemical additives.
  • Construction and Municipal Engineering: Knife gate valves are used to control the flow of sewage, rainwater and other fluids.

How to Choose the Right Electric Knife Gate Valve

  • Material: Stainless steel is suitable for corrosive media, cast iron is suitable for ordinary working conditions.
  • Electric actuator torque: to ensure that the actuator can drive the knife gate open and close.
  • Protection level: IP67 for wet environment, IP68 for underwater operation.

Conclusion

Electric Knife Gate Valves are an important part of industrial fluid control because of their superior performance and wide range of applications. With proper selection and maintenance, you will significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of your system.
