Long Introduction – Industrial Grade Knife Edge Gate Valve for Severe Service Applications

The Carbon Steel Knife Edge Gate Valve is a specialized industrial isolation valve engineered for challenging media such as slurry, pulp, powder, ash, and thick fluids. Unlike conventional Gate Valve designs, the knife edge configuration allows the blade to cut through dense and semi-solid media, ensuring reliable shut-off even in demanding process environments.

This valve is widely used as a Slurry Gate Valve in mining and ash handling, as a Pulp Valve in paper and pulp industries, as a Knife Gate Valve in chemical plants, and as an alternative to Butterfly Valve in high-solid applications where bubble-tight isolation is critical. The carbon steel body provides superior mechanical strength, pressure resistance, and structural durability compared to cast iron alternatives.

Engineered for industrial-grade performance, this valve features a sharp-edged gate that slices through thick slurry, preventing clogging and accumulation. The streamlined design reduces pressure drop while enabling fast operation through manual handwheel, pneumatic actuator, or electric actuator configurations.

At Krishna Industries, we understand Indian industrial operating conditions — high dust environments, abrasive material transfer, and fluctuating pressure cycles. Therefore, we supply carbon steel knife edge gate valves that are manufactured in compliance with industry standards, tested for hydrostatic pressure, and suitable for long-term operational reliability.

Our supply capability across Ahmedabad and pan-India ensures quick dispatch, competitive pricing, and consistent quality — making us a reliable industrial valve partner.

Why Choose Carbon Steel Body?

Carbon steel offers several technical advantages over cast iron or ductile iron bodies:

• Higher tensile strength
• Better impact resistance
• Improved pressure handling capability
• Superior weldability
• Enhanced structural integrity in high-temperature applications

For Indian industries dealing with coal ash, sand slurry, lime slurry, cement powder, fly ash, and sludge, carbon steel body construction ensures extended service life and reduced maintenance cost.
