This valve is a two pieces body without retention area, with two seat seals which allow a bi-directional tightness. This valve is especially adapted for the pulp and paper industry, in pulp outlets or under silos. The principal of the gate’s movement works like a “cigar cutter”.

General construction similar to VG standard knife gate.
– Bidirectional gate, with two seat gaskets.
– Longer body in two parts assembled by bolts.
– The gate is longer and its lower part rests out of the body, which requires a second system of gland packing.
– The gate contains a hole, which assures:
. in opened position, a complete passage of the fluid without retention zone.
. in closed position, the complete obtu ration.
– This gate is particularly adapted in paper mill, in the exit of pulp, for the recovery of the old paper where the product is mixed with numerous impurities (ex: staples).
– No retention zone: interesting in load or unloading of chemical device (dryer, reactor…).
– Valve tightness even in difficult conditions.
No accumulation of product in the bottom of gate evacuation gorge.
