In the open position, the gate is fully
isolated by the sleeves from the
process. As the gate closes, it pushes
between the two sleeves, discharging
a small amount of material out of the
bottom of the valve. This serves to
prevent material buildup in the seat
area, as well as to prevent damage to
the gate. When the gate is in the
open or closed position, there is a
100% bi-directional bubble tight seal.

Global support
Through a network of global offices
and representative alliances, we are
able to maintain valve inventory, spare

Design benefits (cont.)

Advantages of the Krebs

Technequip TGH open body design:
• Open body design eliminates packing gland
• Gate is fully out of pipeline when open,
minimizing pressure drop across valve
• Open body design allows gate to eject
material out of the bottom, ensuring full gate
closure and providing a reliable seal unlike
traditional closed body valves where material
can become trapped and damage the gate or
the valve body, causing leakage

Advantages of the Krebs

Technequip TGH wiper
blade/retainer assembly:
• Molded EPDM wiper blade allows for sealing
on all gate surfaces
• Dynamic seal allows for grease intrusion,
ensuring long-term lubrication
• Adjustible compression plates on the larger
sizes help upstream-side sealing

Advantages of the Krebs

Technequip TGH massive sleeves:
• Encapsulated sleeves designed specifically for
heavy-duty slurry applications
• Sleeves are easily changed out in the field
prolonging overall valve life and minimizing
down time
• Provides 100% bubble tight seal and relies
only on the sleeves to seal
• Provides bi-directional flow

elastomer, complete with an encapsulated stiffener ring molded
into the sleeve. Sleeves are available in several different materials, Pure gum rubber -PG 180°F (82°C)
suitable for a range of applications. (standard)
Neoprene - NE 212°F (100°C)
For ease of installation and to pre-compress the sleeves, retainer Nitrile - NI 212°F (100°C)
flanges are provided as standard for all sizes of valves. Retainer EPDM - EP 300°F (149°C)
flanges have a steel core and are elastomer-lined to match the
Chlorobutyl - CB 230°F (110°C)
sleeve material. Pure gum rubber is supplied as standard,
however, there are many other elastomer options available.

Please consult your regional representative to determine which

material is best suited for your application.

The valve housing is ASTM A536
ANSI B16.5 Class 150 or 300 2” to 24”
cast ductile iron coated with
ANSI B16.47 Series A Class 150 or 300 26” to 36”

corrosion resistance. The gate guides DIN 2501 PN10, PN16, PN25 50 mm to 900 mm
are machined, eliminating the need AS 2129 TABLE D, E, F & H 50 mm to 900 mm

High pressure valve specification
Technequip High Pressure TGH Series
Knife Gate Valve: Heavy duty, wide
body, slurry knife gate valve shall be
designed specifically for highly abrasive
applications. The valve shall be double
flat-faced flanged, bi-directional, full
port design. The valve body shall be
designed such that the gate passes
between two inserted massive
elastomer sleeves so that the gate
expels slurry solids in the path of the
gate through an opening in the bottom
of the valve. A splash guard shall be
attached to the bottom of the valve
which will allow the option to flush or
drain away slurry. Sleeves shall be held
in place by elastomer-lined retainer
flanges for all sizes of valves. Valve
design shall not include packing glands.
The valve shall provide 100% bubble-
tight seal in the open and closed
position.
Valve bodies shall be constructed of
two-coat epoxy-painted ASTM A536
cast ductile iron. Valve bodies shall be
designed with machined gate guides;
spacer bars shall not be used. Valve
components, including actuators, shall
be individually epoxy coated. All
hardware shall be zinc-plated.
Standard valve gate material shall be
17-4 PH stainless steel. Gates shall be
coated with a fluorocarbon coating to
prevent buildup of material and to
decrease friction between the gate and
the sleeves. When open, the gate shall
be fully removed from the flow, and
when closed, the gate shall act as a
blind flange. Valve gate shall be
attached to actuators with a fabricated
17-4 PH stainless steel gate clevis.
15
The valve shall be equipped with dust
boots (bellows) and all manual and
electric valves shall be equipped with
stem covers.
The valve gate and body shall be
designed with a wiper/seal to prevent
leakage out the top of the gate valve
during travel. The wiper blade shall be
easily maintained. It shall be replaceable
in the field, without removing the valve
from its installed location.
All valves with pneumatic actuators
shall be supplied with internal ring
magnet integral to the piston head so
that reed limit switches can be used for
proximity indication.
