Description
The ARVALV® TPK Through Port Knife gate valve features a simple design and rugged construction, making it ideally suited to the most abrasive and scaling applications. The ARVALV TPK is designed for on/off and isolation services and is available with a hand wheel or gear operator for manual operation or with a pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuator.
Operational advantages of the ARVALV TPK include:
- When fully open, the valve offers unobstructed flow, with no body cavities where slurry can accumulate.
- An adjustable packing system provides a superior seal, while rounded gate edges ensure extended packing life.
- Sleeves remain in their natural position during operation, eliminating rubber compression typically associated with traditional sleeved knife gate valves.
- A unique ported gate design maintains constant contact with the seats, virtually eliminating clogging, binding, and slurry build-up in both the chest area and at closure.
- Exceptional wear resistance in demanding applications distinguishes it from conventional alternatives.
- Bi-directional, bubble-tight shut-off.
- Fully repairable and designed for easy maintenance.
