Clarkson KGA Heavy Duty Slurry Knife Gate Valve

3" thru 60"

Field-proven Clarkson KGA slurry knife gate valves feature heavy-duty, full port elastomer linings offering the ultimate in protection against heavy slurries.
Features
Meets a wide range of abrasion, corrosion, temperature, and pressure requirements. May be used in wet or dry services easily dealing with large, heavy particles and tramp material. Heavy-duty, field replaceable elastomer sleeves with internal stiffener (U. S. patent 5,271,426). No metal parts in contact with the flowing slurry. Unobstructed flow eliminates turbulence, minimizes pressure drop across valve. 100% Isolation; bubble-tight shut-off results in absolutely zero downstream leakage. Double-seated design provides bi-directional flow and shut-off. No seat cavity where solids can collect and prevent full gate closure. No gate or stem packing is required, eliminating packing leakage and maintenance. Adaptable frame (yoke) design featuring a top-removal stem nut.

General Applications
Mining Power Pulp and paper Alumina Chemical Cement

3" thru 60"

Features
How the KGA sleeves work: Matching sleeves are placed in the KGA valve housing to seal against the gate when the valve is closed and seal against each other when the valve is open. As the gate moves from open to closed position, it separates the facing sleeves. A stiffener ring molded into the elastomer retains the roundness of the sleeves during opening and closing cycles. The unique KGA sleeve assembly provides positive sealing action when the valve gate is closed. When the gate is open, the sleeves provide an unobstructed port and protect metal parts from the flowing slurry.

Sleeve Configurations
Encapsulated Internal Stiffener Ring
Maintains round configuration of sleeve Relieves stresses on seal

Open position:
Gate positioned above seals Metal parts not in contact with slurry Unobstructed port area eliminates turbulence, minimizes pressure drop across valve No seat cavity where solids can collect and prevent full gate closure

Closed position:
Gate travels through sleeves to provide blind flange shut-off and expel solids 100% Isolation bubble-tight shut-off results in absolutely zero downstream leakage Double-seated design provides bi-directional flow and shut-off Controlled stroke prevents gate from penetrating too far, minimizing stress on sleeve

3" thru 60"

Available sleeve materials:

Natural Rubber: This category includes all natural gum elastomers and synthetic Polyisoprene. Advantages - High tensile strength, superior resistance to tear and abrasion and good flexibility at low temperatures. Limitations - Poor resistance to ozone, acids and most hydrocarbon fuels and greases. Maximum continuous operating temperature, 160F. EPDM-HTP and EPDM: Advantages - Both types have excellent weatherability, very good flexibility at low temperature, good resistance to alkalis, acids, alcohols, ketones, glycols and oxygenated solvents, superior resistance to water and steam. Limitations - Poor resistance to hydrocarbon fuels, mineral-oil-based-fluids and greases and synthetic hydrocarbon lubricants. Maximum continuous operating temperature, EPDM 300F. CSM (Chlorosulphonated polyethylene): Advantages - Good abrasion resistance, excellent resistance to many corrosive and oxidizing chemicals, moderate resistance to oil and gasoline. Limitations - Poor resistance to aromatic solvents, ketones, esters, limited flexibility at low temperature. Maximum continuous operating temperature, 200F. Chlorobutyl: Advantages - Outstanding impermeability to gases and vapor, very good resistance to heat, oxygen, ozone and sunlight. Excellent energy absorption and resistance to alkalis and oxygenated solvents, superior resistance to water and steam. Limitations - Poor resistance to oil, gasoline and hydrocarbon based solvents, poor resilience. Maximum continuous operating temperature, 250F. Neoprene: Advantages - Moderate resistance to oil and gasoline, very good resistance to ozone, abrasion, flex cracking, alkalis and acids. Available in a non-black color. Limitations - Poor resistance to aromatic and oxygenated solvents, limited flexibility at low temperature. Not recommended for high cycle applications. Maximum continuous operating temperature, 200F. Nitrile-HTP and Nitrile: Advantages - Very good resistance to oil, gasoline, alkalis and acids. Good resistance to hydrocarbon based solvents.

Features
Heavy-duty frame (yoke) designed to accept top removal stem nut, bevel gear or cylinder actuator Optional open and closed lockout/tagout positions The stainless steel gate is completely withdrawn from the process flow in the open position and can be inspected or replaced without taking the valve out of service 316 stainless steel gate is standard Packingless design Elastomer sleeve molded with an integral stiffener ring to properly center the sleeve in the valve body housing and resist the high shearing forces present when the gate cycled Unobstructed flow area, fully lined with elastomer sleeves, no metal-to-metal contact, no guides or wedges Double sleeved design provides a "blind flange" shut-off when the gate is closed. The valves sealing surface is between two thick, rubber sleeves that are compressed into the ductile iron valve housings Elastomer covered retainer flanges eliminates need for gaskets (optional on sizes 3" - 8", standard on 10" and larger) Cast ductile full flanged body housing to suit ANSI B16.5/150 through 24", sizes 26" and larger suit MSS-SP44 Mild steel body spacers separate the body housings and serve as an external guide to the valves knife-edge gate Clean-out area

Specification
Clarkson KGA slurry knife gate valve
Heavy duty, slurry knife gate valve shall be flat-face flanged, packingless, rubber-lined, bi-directional valve suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The full port design shall have no internal obstructions and will provide a "blind flange" shut-off when the gate is closed. The valves sealing surface is to be between two thick, rubber sleeves that are compressed into the valve housings. The sleeve will be molded with an internal stiffener ring that locates the sleeve in the valve housing and helps the sleeves resist the high shearing forces present when the gate is driven between them. Mild steel body spacers shall separate the body housings and serve as an external guide to the valves knife-edge gate. The stainless steel gate shall be completely withdrawn from the process flow when in the open position, and can be inspected and replaced, if necessary, without taking the valve out of service. When the valve is in the closed position, the downstream sleeve can be replaced while the upstream portion of the valve is still holding pressure. The valve body housing to be full flanged, drilled and tapped or slotted to suit ANSI B16.5/150 through 24" and MSSSP44 above 24". Valve is equipped with a heavy steel fabricated handwheel frame (yoke) which can be converted to bevel gear in the field, complete with a 304 stainless steel rising stem (except cylinder actuated valves). All nonferrous exterior surfaces shall be painted to factory standard. Specify Clarkson KGA slurry knife gate valve from Tyco Flow Control.
