Three Knives, One Solution: The 3 Knife Gate Valve
Every day your plant fights a quiet enemy: debris-laden streams that erode performance, jam seats, and force costly shutdowns. The 3 Knife Gate Valve rises to that challenge with a purpose-built solution for slurry, wastewater, and other high-solid services. It combines a robust gate with three integral knives that actively cut and wipe away solids as the valve opens and closes, delivering steadier flow, tighter shut-off, and longer service life. In a market hungry for reliability, this valve stands out by turning maintenance headaches into predictable performance.
Why three knives? The triple knife design performs a continuous clearing action—one knife engages the seat to carve a path, the second scrapes the seating face, and the third acts as a secondary barrier against buildup. Together they minimize seat wear, prevent sticking, and maintain a clean seat so the valve can seal fully at low and high pressures. This is especially valuable in abrasive or fibrous slurries where standard valves clog or leak.
Constructed for demanding environments, the 3 Knife Gate Valve offers a choice of body materials (cast steel, ductile iron, stainless steel) and trim options (hard-faced, stainless, PTFE or elastomer seats). It is available in wafer, lug, or fully flanged connections and can be operated manually, pneumatically, or electrically. The three-knife system is paired with a blow-out-proof stem, robust packing, and anti-static features for safety and reliability. Seats and gaskets are selected for chemical compatibility and tight shut-off across a wide temperature range.
Across industries—mining, pulp and paper, chemical processing, water treatment—the 3 Knife Gate Valve reduces downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and improves total cost of ownership. Fewer jams mean less cleaning; more precise shut-off means safer, more environmentally friendly operations. Operators report smoother operation, longer intervals between maintenance, and a quicker return on investment.
