Electric Knife Gate Valve

Handling slurry demands more than ordinary flow isolation. Suspended solids can make conventional valve arrangements difficult to operate, particularly when the pipeline is large and the process requires dependable, remotely controlled movement. Our Electric Knife Gate Valve is developed for such industrial duties, featuring a 500 mm size, carbon steel construction, lug-end connection, electric actuation, and a 5 bar pressure rating. Manufactured under the SVI Make range by Shiv Valves Industries, Ahmedabad, this valve is designed for industrial slurry service with a specified operating temperature of up to 220°C.

A Knife-Edge Flow Isolation Concept for Slurry Lines

The knife gate design uses a sliding gate that travels through the flow path to establish an open or closed condition. This operating principle is particularly relevant to slurry applications because the gate action is suited to systems carrying suspended solids and particulate material. The 500 mm size makes this valve suitable for larger industrial pipelines where controlled isolation is required.

Electric Actuation for Larger Valve Operation

At 500 mm, manual operation can require considerable effort depending on the system conditions. The electric actuator provides powered movement of the knife gate, making the valve appropriate for installations where centralized or automated operation is preferred. It can be incorporated into suitable plant control arrangements to support controlled opening and closing without requiring the operator to manually move the large gate.

Carbon Steel Body with Lug-End Configuration

The carbon steel body provides a robust structural foundation for industrial service. The lug-end configuration provides defined bolting points for installation within compatible piping arrangements and is particularly useful where a secure valve-to-pipeline connection is required. Proper flange, gasket, bolting, and installation selection should be matched to the actual system design and operating conditions.

Industrial Slurry Isolation with Automated Control

The combination of large size, electric actuation, carbon steel construction, and slurry-oriented knife gate geometry makes this valve a practical option for compatible industrial process lines. It can be considered for applications where isolation of slurry flow is required and powered valve operation offers an operational advantage. Final selection should always account for slurry composition, solids concentration, pressure, temperature, and installation conditions.
