Knife gate valves

A knife gate valve is used to control the flow of liquids or gases in pipelines and is particularly effective for handling thick fluids, slurries, and media containing solid particles. Knife gate valves are commonly used in applications such as wastewater systems and feature a flat disc, called a gate, that moves vertically to open or close the flow. When the gate is lowered, it completely blocks the flow, and when lifted, it allows full passage.
