Funnel Knife Gate Valve

Funnel Knife Gate Valve is used in service as a pneumatic residue discharge valve in pulp making, paper making and sewage treatment. This type of valve is well suited for high consistency media containing solids, fiber or residue, serving as a residue discharge valve on stock cleaners, gravity separators or pressurized screens. The “funnel” at the bottom of the valve collects waste discharged from the valve body during the closing stroke. This greatly reduces the wear between the body and gate, and prolongs the life cycle of the valve.
