Bi Directional Knife Gate Valve

African Valve is a trusted Bi Directional Knife Gate Valve Supplier in Egypt. A Bi-directional knife gate valve is a type of valve that allows flow in the opposite direction, used in applications where the flow direction may vary or where bidirectional sealing is necessary. The operation of Bi-directional knife gate valves is very similar to knife gate valves, it features a gate that has a seal or packing materials that provide tight shut off against the valve seat in both open and close position and prevent leakage ensure proper flow of media.

Bi-directional knife gate valves are commonly used in industries that deal with slurries, viscous fluids, and materials containing solids, where bidirectional flow control and effective sealing are essential. When the valve is open, the gate retracts into a cavity, allowing the media to flow through in either direction. This bidirectional sealing capability ensures that there is no leakage or flow reversal, maintaining efficient flow control and preventing contamination or interference in the pipeline.

Bi Directional Knife Gate Valves are commonly used in applications such as mining, wastewater treatment, chemical processing, and industries where flexibility in flow direction is required.
