DeZURIK now offers the new KGC-MD Maximum Duty Cast Knife Gate Valve. These valves are specifically designed to provide the shearing and sealing capabilities needed in demanding services such as cyclone separators. Because the valve is designed to provide long service life in highly abrasive applications, it can be used in many applications in the mining and minerals industries.

The KGC-MD Knife Gate Valves are available in 80-600 mm (3-24″) 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 these features combine to provide a longer service life, less downtime and less maintenance than other valves designed for these tough applications, DeZURIK reports.
