pneumatic knife gate valve Description
Pneumatic knife gate valve is a valve that uses compressed air as the power source and drives the gate plate to move vertically through a pneumatic actuator to open and close the fluid. Its structure is divided into two parts:
The upper part: the pneumatic actuator (single-acting or double-acting), which drives the valve stem to rotate or lift through the movement of the piston.
The lower part: the valve body, the core is the wedge-shaped gate (rigid or elastic structure), the sealing surface angle is usually 50°, and the gate movement direction is perpendicular to the fluid.
Features
Wear and blockage resistance:
The wedge gate can cut off impurities such as fibers and particles, and the full-bore flow channel design reduces medium retention.
Applicable to pipelines with high impurities such as slag, sludge, and pulp.
Fast response and automation:
The pneumatic actuator supports millisecond-level opening and closing, which is suitable for industrial scenarios that require frequent operations.
Intelligent positioners or sensors can be integrated to achieve precise flow regulation.
High sealing performance:
The elastic gate compensates for processing errors, and the PTFE sealing ring or metal hard seal meets the ANSI V-level leakage standard.
Corrosion resistance:
The valve body material can be selected from 304/316 stainless steel or fluorine-lined, which is suitable for strong acids, strong alkalis and sanitary media.

Selection and maintenance points
Selection suggestions:
Select the gate type according to the characteristics of the medium (elastic gate is suitable for medium containing particles, and rigid gate is suitable for clean fluid).
For single-acting type, pay attention to the spring life, and double-acting type needs to be equipped with a solenoid valve.
Maintenance requirements:
Check the wear of the seal ring regularly and replace PTFE or metal seals in time.
The air source must be kept dry and clean to prevent internal corrosion of the actuator.
