1. Introduction

The 4-inch pneumatic soft seal cast iron knife gate valve, commonly referred to as a mud knife gate valve, is specifically designed for handling slurry and highly viscous media. Its robust construction and reliable sealing mechanism make it an ideal choice for industries such as mining, wastewater treatment, and pulp & paper.

2. Features

  • Material: High-quality cast iron body with a soft seal for enhanced sealing performance.
  • Actuation: Pneumatic actuator for efficient and remote control operation.
  • Design: Knife gate design to cut through thick media, ensuring smooth flow and minimal clogging.
  • Seal: Soft seal ensures tight closure, preventing leakage.
  • Operation: Suitable for both on-off and throttling applications.

3. Applications

  • Mining industry for slurry and tailings.
  • Wastewater treatment plants.
  • Pulp and paper industry.
  • Chemical processing.
  • Food and beverage industry.
