WANVALVE WE30-EKG Electric Knife Gate Valve
The WANVALVE Electric Actuated Knife Gate Valve (WE30-EKG) is designed for reliable isolation in slurry, pulp, and solid-laden flow systems. As a specialized solution within electric gate and knife gate valves, it delivers stable operation without reliance on compressed air, making it suitable for automated industrial environments requiring consistent reliable performance.
Unlike quarter turn or other turn valves typically used for clean media, this knife gate valve is engineered to handle thick, abrasive fluids while maintaining dependable shut-off capability. This valve is primarily used for on-off isolation, rather than flow modulation, ensuring dependable shut-off performance in solid-handling pipelines.
Working Principle
The valve operates through an electric actuator powered by a stable electric power source. When energized, the actuator drives the gate vertically to open or close the flow path.
The sharp edged gate design allows the valve to cut through slurry, pulp, or suspended solids efficiently, reducing the risk of blockage during operation.
Compared with actuated ball valves, which are usually limited to clean or mildly contaminated fluids, the knife gate structure is better suited for applications involving high solids content and viscous media.
Technical Advantages
-
Electrically actuated operation enables remote control and automation integration
