BIDIRECTIONAL KNIFE GATE VALVES

Bidirectional knife gate valves are flow control devices that can be used in piping systems to stop flow in both directions. These valves are designed with a knife-edge blade or plate that is lowered to block fluid flow when the valve is closed.

Bidirectional knife gate valves are commonly used in industrial applications to control the flow of liquids and solids such as water, sewage, sludge, paper pulp, chemicals and food. They can be operated manually, hydraulically or pneumatically and can be designed to handle high pressures and temperatures.

Bidirectional knife gate valves are especially useful in applications where fluid flow is irregular or needs to be stopped completely in both directions, such as in water and wastewater treatment systems, food and beverage manufacturing processes and bulk material conveying systems.

BX Model

Bidirectional wafer style knife gate valve for coal burner isolation

The BX model knife gate is a bi-directional wafer valve specifically designed for the isolation of pulverized coal burner lines on coal fired boilers during maintenance. The valve is dust tight which makes it suitable for other bulk handling applications, such as silo outlet valves. This valve has been designed for use in potentially explosive areas (ATEX) and it complies with DIN EN 14460 (Explosion resistant equipment). In the closed position, the valve can be used as an effective measure against flame propagation in the event of an explosion.

Sizes:

DN 700 to DN 1000 (Smaller and larger diameters on request).

Working pressure:

DN 700 to DN 1000: 3 bar

Standard flanges connection:

DIN PN 10

DIN EN 14460:

(DN 700-1000)Valve housing resistance to explosion pressure and ignition disrupting resistance against St1 dust explosion in closed position:
DN700-800: 9,6 bar
DN900-1000:10,5 bar

*IMPORTANT: Pressure rating of the valve refers to maximum working pressure of the valve. The maximum explosion pressure exceeds many times the working pressure, so 94/9/EC limits must always be observed.
