KNIFE GATE VALVES FOR SOLIDS
Knife gate valves for solids are ideal for fluids with high solids concentration or solids. Low pressure and unidirectional, these valves are mainly used in bulk handling and silo outlet in industries.
BC MODEL
Unidirectional square port fabricated knife gate valve for discharge, material and bulk handling applications
The BC model knife gate is a square port low-pressure valve for solid loaded fluids, mainly used in bulk handling and silo outlet applications in industries such as:
- Chemical plants
- Wastewater treatment Plants
- Power plants
- Mining
- Food and Beverage
- etc.
Sizes:
From DN 150 x 150 to DN 600 x 600 (other dimensions on request)
Working pressure:
De 150 x 150 a 600 x 600: 1 bar
For higher pressure:
Casted bodies (on request)

XC Model
Unidirectional hopper shape wafer style knife gate valve for discharge, material and bulk handling applications
The XC model knife gate is a wafer valve designed for industrial bulk handling service applications (powdered and granular products). The special design of the body allows for easy passage of the fluid and makes it ideal for use as silo outlet valve. Widely used in industries such as:
- Power plants
- Food and Beverage
- Chemical plants
- Mining
- Etc.
Valve is usually installed under silos or hoppers in vertical pipes with the seat in the upstream side of the valve in order to protect it from the solids flow. This set up helps to protect the seat from premature wear and gate jamming due to solid build-up.
Sizes:
DN 50 to DN 600 (larger diameters on request)
Working pressure:
- DN 50 to 250: 10 bar
- DN 300 to 400: 6 bar
- DN 450: 5 bar
- DN 500 to 600: 4 bar
