Knife Gate Valve Manufacturer in USA – SVR Global
SVR Global is a leading Knife Gate Valve Manufacturer in USA, offering valves engineered for industries requiring reliable isolation in slurry, wastewater, pulp, mining, chemical, and power applications. Our valves are designed with a sharpened gate (disc) that cuts through thick media, ensuring minimal pressure drop and leak-tight performance. Built in compliance with API, MSS, and ASME standards, our knife gate valves are highly durable even under abrasive and corrosive conditions.
Function & Working
Knife gate valves use a sharpened disc (knife) to slice through slurry, sludge, or viscous media. When actuated, the gate moves down to provide tight shut-off or up to allow unobstructed flow. The design prevents clogging and ensures smooth operation in applications where conventional valves may fail.
Advantages
Reliable sealing for slurry and abrasive media
Full port opening ensures low pressure drop
Bi-directional sealing options available
Easy maintenance with replaceable seats and packing
Offered in manual, pneumatic, or electric actuation
