SKG High Pressure Slurry Knife Gate Valves (SKG-HP)
The SKG-HP series of high-pressure slurry knife gate valves is engineered to meet the toughest demands in industrial and slurry pipeline applications. Designed with long-lasting, low-maintenance operation in mind, these valves combine innovative engineering with practical features to ensure reliable performance in the harshest environments. The SKG-HP range features a packingless design, field-replaceable elastomer sleeves, and a fully enclosed gate and spindle assembly, making it the ideal solution for high-pressure, abrasive slurry transport.
The SKG-HP valve is built for resilience. Its heavy-duty frame design consists of two robust cover plates that fully enclose the gate, spindle, and clevis. These plates protect critical components from slurry splatter, which can harden over time and interfere with valve operation.
Despite its strength, the cover plates are lightweight for easy removal during servicing and maintenance. Additionally, the design allows for straightforward mounting of proximity switches, which are protected by durable covers to prevent damage during transport or operation.
A standout feature of the SKG-HP is its field-replaceable heavy-duty elastomer sleeves. These sleeves ensure that no metal parts come into contact with the flowing media when the valve is fully open, preventing wear and contamination.
This packingless design eliminates the need for frequent maintenance, reduces downtime, and ensures consistent, reliable performance in abrasive or corrosive slurry applications.
