Knife gate valve, type 7400

Knife gate valve, type 7400

Type 7400 is a uni-directional knife gate valve and is a good choice when used for abrasive fluids such as pulp & paper, waste water, bio mass and mining slurries. Tightness in one direction will be secured with a resilient elastomer and metal seal. The valve can be delivered with rising or non-rising spindle. Actuation is provided with a hand wheel, chain wheel, gearbox, pneumatic- or with electrical actuation.

Hardware

Technimex delivers an almost ‘plug-&-play’ container or manhole which will be installed at the input-side of the critical area. This container or manhole includes the plunger valve which is used to control the pressure: 1% reduction in water pressure results in approximately 1.2% reduction of lost water. It also includes the actuators, and pressure- and flow sensors that are needed for the water management system. Additionally, to power the actuators and control system, a hydro-generator with battery backup is installed.
