Unidirectional Knife Gate Valve
African Valve is the top Uni Directional Knife Gate Valve Supplier in Nigeria. These valves allow flow of fluids in one direction, ensure tight shut-off in the closed position and prevent backflow. These valves are often constructed from materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, or other corrosion-resistant alloys to withstand the conditions of the application environment.
A unidirectional knife gate valve features a gate that moves perpendicular to the flow path to either block or allow the flow of material.The operation of a uni directional knife gate valve is straightforward. When the valve is open, the gate retracts into a cavity, allowing the media to flow through freely in the specified direction. When it’s time to close the valve, the gate moves across the media flow path and seals against the valve seat, creating a tight shut-off.
In Nigeria, Uni Directional Knife Gate Valve is commonly used in industries where preventing backflow is critical like wastewater treatment plants, mining operations, pulp and paper mills, and chemical processing facilities. It features a sharp-edged gate or blade that cuts through the media, providing a tight shut-off when closed.
