DeZURIK Announces Maximum Duty Knife Gate Valve for Abrasive, Cyclone Services

DeZURIK, Sartell, Minn., USA, has announced its new KGC-MD maximum duty cast knife gate valve specifically designed to provide shearing and sealing capabilities needed in demanding services such as cyclone separators, recycle high density cleaners, recycle detrashers, or sand cleaners. Because the valve is designed to provide long service life in highly abrasive applications, it can be used in many applications in the pulp and paper industry.

The KGC-MD valves are available in 3 in. to 24 in. (80-600 mm) sizes with metal or dual metal and resilient seats. To withstand highly abrasive media, the valves are available with a replaceable hardened seat, hardened gate, full 100% port opening, high performance packing system with wire scraper rings, and heavy-duty superstructure. All of these features combine to provide a longer service life, less downtime, and less maintenance than other valves designed for these tough applications.
