Under Silo Knife Gate Valve KGS - Performance and Reliability in Industrial Environments

KGS01

Flowrates Under Silo knife gate valves are designed for handling solids, powders, and bulk materials with unmatched precision and durability. With a non-restrictive design and a high-strength welded structure, they ensure smooth flow, excellent sealing, and easy maintenance, even in the most demanding industrial environments.


Optimized Design for Maximum Sealing and Longevity

✅ Unobstructed flow: No internal cavities, ensuring total evacuation of solids and preventing build-ups that could affect performance.

✅ Precise gate guidance: The gate is supported throughout its stroke by adjustable stainless steel eccentric bearings, ensuring constant seat contact, reducing wear, and optimizing maneuverability.

✅ Protected and replaceable seat: Each valve is equipped with a retaining ring that locks the seat in place, preventing dislodgement, even in the presence of abrasive or solid particles.

✅ Square gate with a round flow section: This innovative design allows complete particle clearance during closure, reducing the risk of clogging and extending equipment lifespan.

✅ Easy cleaning: Integrated purge holes allow cleaning with compressed air or nitrogen, ensuring optimal operation even in harsh conditions.

✅ Simplified maintenance: The removable bottom plate allows direct access for servicing and cleaning without requiring full disassembly.

✅ Customizable sealing materials: Wide selection of elastomers, PTFE with dynamic seals, or metal with compensation systems, providing maximum resistance to high-temperature and high-pressure applications.

✅ Optional bonnet version: Ensures total fluid containment, preventing any contact with the atmosphere for sensitive applications
