Product catalog summary
Product Description
The CMO Model AB is a wafer style, bidirectional knife gate valve designed with a one-piece integral cast body and sliding wedges for bidirectional flow. It supports high flow rates with minimal pressure drops and offers various seat and packing materials. The face-to-face dimension adheres to the CMO standard.
General Applications
This valve is suitable for clean liquids or those with up to 4% solids concentration, making it ideal for effluent handling, chemical plants, food and beverage industries, and sewage applications. It is recommended to install the valve after screening the fluid to remove solids.
Technical Data
Manufacturing sizes range from DN50 to DN1200, with working pressures varying by size. The valve supports standard flange connections according to DIN PN10, with other standards available upon request. It complies with Directives 98/37/CE, 97/23/CE, and 94/9/CE. All valves undergo hydrostatic testing at CMO.
Advantages
The valve's design allows for bidirectional flow at the same pressure. The sealing joint includes an internal stainless steel wire to maintain shape and prevent dismantling. The stem protection hood is independent of the hand wheel, facilitating maintenance. The spindle is made of stainless steel 18/8, and the hand wheel is made of durable nodular iron GGG-50.

KNIFE GATE VALVES AB Series-2

The main characteristic of this knife gate valve is the body design. It is a one piece machined cast body with wedges in both sides that provides the capability to work with flow in both directions at the same pressure. The sealing joint has an internal stainless steel wire that helps the joint to keep the body shape and avoid its dismantling. This design provides a completely flat seat with no cavities and avoids any build up of solids in the seat area. The stem protection hood is independent from the hand wheel fixing system, so the hood can be removed without removing the hand wheel. This...

KNIFE GATE VALVES AB Series-5

DOC. AB.05/08 GRAPHITE FILAMENT It is made of graphite threads of high purity. It is braided by the diagonal system and impregnated with a small quantity of graphite and lubricant which helps to reduce the porosity and makes easier the running. It is a packing with low friction coefficient and high heat conductivity. Is has a wide range of applications, as the graphite withstands the steam, water, oils, solvents, alkalis and most of the acids. The chemical products that attack this packing are strong oxifiers as the oleum, the fuming nitric acids, the diochramates and the oxygene. P(bar) = 40...
