Knife Gate Valves  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

The AKO type B knife gate valve is a bi-directional wafer valve for media of high consistency.
Drive variants for the knife gate valves include a manually actuated handwheel model with rising or non-rising stem or double-acting pneumatic cylinders and electric actuators.
The structure of the bi-directional knife gate valves encompasses a two-part wafer style body screwed together, with reinforced ribs for larger nominal diameters for extra body strength.
The two-part wafer style body of the knife gate valves is available in grey cast iron (GG25) or alternatively in stainless steel AISI 1.4408 (CF8M).

The nominal widths available for the knife gate valves range from DN050 to DN600 with flange connections complying with EN 1092-2 PN10 or alternatively, ANSI B16.5.
Maximal operating pressures
DN050-DN250: 10 bar
DN300-DN400: 6 bar
DN450: 5 bar
DN500-DN600: 4 bar
