8" Pneumatic Knife Gate Valve

8" stainless steel pneumatic knife gate valve has strong cut-off force and self-cleaning function for fibrous particle fluids. The knife gate valve is suitable for horizontal and inclined installation. The pneumatic knife gate valve is mostly used for applications requiring fast cut-off or opening.

Applications

Knife gate valves are generally used for the circulation of media such as paper pulp, coal ash, chemical materials, sewage, and foodstuffs. ATO knife gate valve has the remarkable advantages of light switch, good sealing, good elastic memory, and long service life. It can be widely used in water, sewage, construction, petroleum, chemical, food, medicine, light textile, electric power, ship metallurgy, energy system and another body pipeline as a regulating and intercepting device.

Tips: How to maintain the pneumatic knife gate valve?

• Clean the valve regularly:  Dust, debris, and other particles can get trapped in the valve, which can lead to clogging and reduced performance. Clean the valve regularly to keep it in good working condition.
• Check for leaks:  Inspect the valve for any signs of leaks, such as air escaping from the body or diaphragm. If you find a leak, repair it immediately to avoid further damage to the valve.
• Lubricate moving parts:  Pneumatic knife gate valves have moving parts that need to be lubricated regularly to prevent wear and tear. Use a high-quality lubricant that is specifically designed for pneumatic valves.
• Replace the diaphragm:  Over time, the diaphragm can become damaged or worn out. Replace the diaphragm if it shows signs of damage or wear.
• Calibrate the valve:  Regularly calibrate the valve to ensure that it is functioning properly. This involves checking the valve's response time and pressure settings.
• Check the air supply: Ensure that the air supply to the valve is of the correct pressure and quality. Poor air quality can lead to reduced performance and even damage to the valve.
• Store properly:  When the valve is not in use, store it properly to protect it from damage. This may involve covering it with a protective cover or storing it in a dry, cool place.
