Bonneted Knife Gate Valve KGVB – Sealing and Performance Under High Pressure
KGVB01
Optimized for demanding environments, the Flowrates bonneted knife gate valve is designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications, ensuring maximum reliability for both liquids and gases.
Why Choose a Bonneted Valve?
Unlike traditional knife gate valves, our design features a bolted bonnet, providing total sealing around the stem, rather than just around the gate. This enhances leak resistance and reduces fugitive emissions, making it ideal for gas, steam, and aggressive fluid applications.
Key Features:
✔ Unidirectional (bidirectional option available on request)
✔ Monobloc cast or welded body, ensuring robustness and durability
✔ Self-cleaning seal system to minimize residue build-up and extend lifespan
✔ High flow capacity with low pressure drop
✔ Customizable materials and seals to suit fluid type, pressure, and temperature
Industrial Applications:
✅ Chemical and Petrochemical Industry – Isolation of aggressive fluids and high-pressure gases
✅ Energy and Thermal Power Plants – Control of hot gases and superheated steam
✅ Steel and Cement Industry – Management of combustion gases and abrasive fluids
✅ Pulp & Paper and Effluent Treatment – Handling of slurries and industrial waste fluids
