Cast stainless steel body and investment cast yoke. In fabricated valves, leakage of corrosive medium dueto neglected maintenance on the packing, or line pressure surges causes corrosion and failure of most carbon steel or cast iron components. > An all stainless steel valve offers better corrison resistance than cast iron lined valves. The total cost of ownership becomes more attractive than the initial savings.: > The groove around the seat permits the gate to push particles aside and prevents clogging. When the valve is open the flow cleans the groove. > Rugged one-piece body...

Many times the cycle life of a standard knife gate valve. > ● Bonnetted design. Standard body-bonnet joint with an efficient non-asbestos reinforced fiber or PTFE gasket. Standard packing chamber with 125 RMS wall finish, burnished non-rotating stem and PTFE or graphite packing rings. > ● Long-life leakproof stem seal. > U.S. Patent # 5295661 No dewatering of stock, unlike standard knife gate valves. > ● Virtually no contamination of the environment. > ● Easy repacking in-line. (Valve should be de-pressurized when repacking in-line.) TIGHTER SEATS WITH PATENTED TORQUE CLOSURE OF KNIFE > ●...

During closure, the stem slides down pushing the knife into contact with thetwo bottom lugs. The taperstem head then transfers a vertical closing force to a lateral force which positively seats the knife against the seat face. Stem force, not line pressure, maintains seating contact in this unique design, ensuring tight seating in both directions (see alternative seat designs on page 10). During the opening and closing cycle, the guides ensure proper alignment of the knife. ● Handwheel torque oractuator force provides positive seat-knife closure. > ● Patented knife stemconnection. Unlike...

In stainless steel or othermaterials are available to divert the flow of abrasive slurries and protect valve seat from abrasion.Typical applicationsinclude dry solids, storage bins, bottom valves, mining slurries, fly ash, filters, cyclons, etc. The cone is installed between valve and pipe flange. > Flow data on page 12. > ● Live-loading and leak-off Handwheel, quick lever,chain wheel, bevel gear, on-off cylinder actuators, positioning cylinder actuators, electric actuators. 10 For very fine slurry lines,purge connections are recommended. Purging is used to prevent packing of material in...

● Thicker knife. Our valves have thicker, stronger knives, toprevent deflection under heavy pressure and to ensure a tight seal.The minimum knife thickness for Velan knife gate valvesare based on the ASME VIII formula for plate thickness. > ● Precision-machined, bottom and top edges provideshearing action for pulp stock and slurry. > ● Lapped seating face for maximum tightness. > For specific Knife Gate Valve thicknesses see tables on pages 3, 4, 5, 8 & 9 Easy seat maintenance due toreplaceable seat retainer ring on standard knife gate valves from 836֔ and bolted bonnet knife gate valves...

Due to unique torque closure of its seat, theVelan Bolted Bonnet Knife Gate Valve is an ideal solution for low pressure, high cycling, environmentally sensitive services and bidirectional applications. > Multiple pump discharge isolation with pressure 70-90 psi (4.8-6.2 bar) white water. Centrifical cleaner isolation. Pressure around 25-35 psi (1.7-2.4 bar) 2.5% pulp. Post refiner line isolation. Pump discharge shutoff5% pulp at 70 psi (4.8 bar) cycling over 75 times a day. Filter isolation installation. 13 >
