Sprocket driven knife gate valve
The Sprocket Driven Knife Gate Valve is designed for industrial pipelines handling slurry, pulp, and abrasive or fibrous media. Its chain-wheel mechanism allows easy manual operation of large valves with minimal effort. High-strength, corrosion-resistant materials ensure reliable sealing, long-term durability, and low-maintenance performance in mining, chemical, and wastewater systems.
Sprocket driven knife gate valve
The Sprocket Driven Knife Gate Valve combines a sharp knife-edge gate with a sprocket-and-chain manual operating system, enabling precise flow control in abrasive or particle-laden pipelines. The valve is suitable for large diameters, heavy-duty service, and high-viscosity slurries.
The robust body and gate materials resist wear, corrosion, and clogging. The valve supports manual, pneumatic, or electric actuator options for automation. Flanged, wafer, and lug connection types allow versatile installation. OEM customization includes special materials, seat configurations, and chain-wheel gear ratios.
