The Non-Rising Stem Knife Gate Valve is a specialized valve designed for handling heavy and abrasive fluids, slurries, and solids in demanding industrial applications. Featuring a non-rising stem design, this valve is ideal for installations with limited space, as the stem does not move upward during operation. The knife gate design allows for efficient cutting through thick and viscous media, making it suitable for industries such as mining, wastewater treatment, pulp and paper, and chemical processing. Its robust construction and reliable performance ensure long-lasting operation in harsh environments.
