Wafer Unidirectional Knife Gate Valve

Wafer Unidirectional Knife Gate Valve

Spec Sheet: Alpine Knife Gate Valve

Other: Alpine Pneumatic Actuator Datasheet

The NP series knife gate is a unidirectional wafer valve used on an industrial pipeline for on-off operation. The unique valve structure eliminates potential clogging shutoff when the valve is dealing with the flow of particles. Beveled knife gate design also generates great shear stress for easy flow penetration.

BODY:
• Cast-in guide claws at the port bottom for gate fixture, instead of a groove, eliminate
potential valve shutoff clogging while providing a tighter seal.
• Integral body design ensures easy assembly and 0 shell leakage.
• Full port design minimizes pressure drop and maximizes flow capacity.
• PTFE resilient point against gate eliminate metal-metal contact between gate and body.

GATE:

• Beveled knife edge provides strong cutting stress and tight sealing.
• Gate thickness can be increased to meet higher pressure.
• Gate surface is well polished on both sides for a tight seal and less jamming.
• Gate is hard chrome coated for the metal sealing valve.

SEAT:

• Side-entry seat is replaceable, reducing the cost of maintenance.
• Preloaded seat is adjustable to meet different sealing classes and compensate for sea wear.
• L-shape seat retainer locks the seat into the valve body and covers the seat side to prevent direct flow flushing.

Other:

• Stem cover is available to ensure long service life for the stem.
• Two thrust bearings minimize torque for operation.
• Grease nipple is available to ease bearing lubrication.
