Linuo knife gate valves are lightweight, compact linear shut off valves. Valves are available as manual with handwheel, or can be automated with pneumatic cylinder actuator for remote operation. The arc shape of the gate of the knife gate valve is designed to be particularly suitable for cutting off fluid containing fibre or suspended particles, which makes it ideal for many applications in the process industries of pulp & paper, wastewater treatment, mining, sugar making, and chemical processing.
Seats in the Linuo knife gate valves are backed with by an o-ring to give the seat a self-compensating wear function. This results in excellent seat tightness and prolonged life cycle. Each gate is precision ground and hard Chrome-plated as a standard. This provides superior abrasion and corrosion resistance. The arc shape design of the bottom of the gate is particularly suitable to provide strong cutting force for pulp media. Guiding wedges are point-located at the valve outlet, providing for a groove-free and smooth port. This reduces clogging or material build-up. Packing gland and packing are externally located, so packing can be adjusted or replaced without removing the valve from the pipeline. The knife gate valves are equipped with two stem bearings for reduced torque and easy operation. They are available in custom port shapes including V-port, triangle port and hexagon port.
