Knife Gate Valve Manufacturer in USA

Knife Gate Valve Manufacturer in USA

SVR Global is a leading knife gate valve manufacturer in USA, With certified designs that meet API, ASME, MSS-SP, and ISO standards.In demanding industries where slurry, viscous fluids, and abrasive media are part of everyday operations, traditional valves often fail. This is where knife gate valves prove their value. Designed with a sharp-edged blade that cuts through thick media, these valves ensure uninterrupted flow control in some of the harshest industrial conditions.

What is a Knife Gate Valve?

A knife gate valve is a linear motion valve with a sharpened gate that cuts through thick, slurry-type media. Unlike standard gate valves, the knife gate is designed for easy operation in pipelines carrying solids, powders, pulp, or wastewater sludge.

Best suited for on/off service rather than throttling. Provides low-pressure drop when fully open. Compact design for space-saving installations.

Advantages of Knife Gate Valves-

• Handles Slurry and Solids – Can cut through viscous, abrasive, and slurry media with ease.
• Cost-Effective – Simple design, easy maintenance, and long service life.
• Bubble-Tight Shutoff – Prevents leakage in critical applications.
• Space-Saving – Slim profile makes it ideal for tight piping layouts.
• Corrosion Resistance – Available in stainless steel, duplex, and special alloys.
• Adaptable Operation – Manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric actuators available.

Parts of a Knife Gate Valve

1. Body – Available in cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, or alloys.
2. Knife Gate/Blade – Hardened steel or stainless steel with a sharpened edge.
3. Seat – Resilient elastomer or metal seated for sealing performance.
4. Stem & Packing – Ensures leak-proof operation and supports stem movement.
5. Actuator – Manual handwheel, pneumatic cylinder, electric actuator, or hydraulic actuator.
6. Yoke & Gland – Provides rigidity and supports stem alignment.
