The TOT Valve You Can Depend On – Compact Design, Maximum Performance
When your process involves slurry, pulp, abrasive fluids, or corrosive chemicals in space-constrained installations, you need the reliability of our wafer type knife gate valve. With its lightweight wafer body design, this knife gate valve provides absolute shut-off performance, bi-directional sealing capability, and easy installation between existing flanges — all while maintaining the rugged performance you expect.
The wafer design eliminates the need for through-bolts, allowing installation directly between pipeline flanges using existing bolting, making it the most economical choice for new installations and retrofits.
Why Wafer Type Knife Gate Valve Works for You?
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel (SS304/316) keeps your operation running in aggressive environments.
- Wafer-style design fits between flanges with no additional bolting required, reducing installation costs.
- Knife-edge gate slices through thick media like pulp, slurry, or powders with no clogging.
- Bi-directional sealing ensures reliable shut-off regardless of flow direction.
- Soft or metal seats ensure you get the shut-off performance your application demands.
- Choose your actuator – manual, pneumatic, electric, or chainwheel – for total control.
- Lightweight construction reduces pipeline stress and support requirements.
- Low maintenance – reduce downtime with replaceable seats and packing.
- Compact design saves valuable space in crowded installations.
- No flow restriction – full bore design maintains system efficiency.
