Waits Valve's Circular Knife Gate Valve is designed for industrial piping systems, and its unique round gate provides reliable shutoff and smooth flow control. It is widely used in various industries, especially in areas that require high sealing and low maintenance.
Waits Valve high quality Circular Knife Gate Valve is suitable for recycling applications, with a fully round flow path without grooves or depressions to prevent media accumulation and clogging, such as the garbage collector or grit collector of a pulper, high density cleaner (HDC) or as a silo outlet for solid materials. It is particularly suitable for fluid control applications involving particles, fibers or slurries. Some models are equipped with a wear-resistant tapered edge or scraper at the inlet to better handle highly abrasive media. The two-piece valve body has a round inlet and a square outlet (larger than the inlet) to effectively prevent media clogging.

Features:
1. Valve Body:
The Circular Knife Gate Valve features a claw design at the bottom of the valve port to hold the gate, rather than a groove, eliminating potential clogging when the valve is closed.
2. Gate:
Gate thickness can be increased to withstand higher pressures.
Both sides of the gate surface are polished to reduce clogging.
3. Seat:
The seat retainer covers the side of the seat to prevent the seat from being washed by direct water flow.
The preload seat is adjustable to meet different sealing levels and compensate for normal seat wear.
