The difference between slurry valve and knife gate valve

Forslurry valveCompared to knife gate valves, many people may think they are the same, but in fact, they still have differences.

In the past, where slurry valves were needed, knife gate valves could actually be used instead. Generally, knife gate valves are better to use, but for places with strict requirements, using slurry valves is still better.

The slurry valve has high efficiency in the use of slurry (liquid media such as clean water, sewage, etc.) pipelines. Its valve seat is sealed by rubber in contact with the edge of the gate valve. The entire valve can be compressed in both directions, and there is no groove at the bottom, which prevents slag blockage during use.

However, knife gate valves have a wider range of applications, not only in liquid media such as clean water and sewage, but also in solid media such as chemical fibers, pulp, and slurry. The gate valve has a knife edge, which allows it to effectively cut off these media, and the gate valve can be easily closed without jamming.

The above is a brief introduction to the differences between slurry valves and knife gate valves, hoping to be helpful to everyone.
