Red Valve Series DX Slurry Knife Gate Valve
Series DX knife gate valve is a durable and user friendly knife gate valve designed for difficult slurry applications. Available in 3"- 30" sizes.
The Series DX design features a full-port opening, which minimizes turbulence and wear. The seats isolate and protect all metal parts of the valve from coming in contact with the process. When closed, the sleeves provide a drop-tight seal in both directions.
The valve discharges a small amount of slurry on each stroke, which keeps the gate path and seat area clear of entrapped particulates. The DX prevents slurry build-up in the seat area unlike traditional knife gate valves. The wiper blade at the top of the valve prevents the gate lubricant and process from leaking through the top and external grit from entering the valve body.
