Bidirectional knife gate valve − series 765
The Bray Series 765 bidirectional knife gate valve is designed for demanding slurry applications. Twin elastomer seats and push-through gate design facilitate self-cleaning and prevent media build up.
The durable ductile iron body is offered in a compact wafer style. When fully open, the valve is full bore, offering no resistance to line media. Size range: 2" to 12". Maximum allowable operating pressure: 6.2 bar. Body stile: two piece bolted, Wafer.
A. Topworks: designed for easy, quick conversion between manual and pneumatic actuation. Featuring a lubricant injection port for continuous, smooth operation with minimal maintenance.
B. Secondary wiper seal: self-adjusting secondary wiper seal extends gate life and prevents discharge from top of valve.
C. Elastomer sleeve: metal-reinforced, elastomer sleeves provide energized, zero leakage shutoff in both directions.
D. Energized sleeve: in the open position, the energized sleeves shield all metal components from direct contact with the flowing process media.
E. Robust gate: robust gate available in a wide range of corrosion resistant alloys to suit the application.
F. Unrestricted flow path: unrestricted flow path with minimal pressure drop achieved through full port valve design for extended sleeve life.
G. Complete gate closure: ample clearance for push-through allows complete gate closure.
H. Compact wafer body: compact wafer body allows for easy installation and is drilled and tapped to ASME CL150 flange patterns as standard. Other drilling options available upon request.
I. Drain plate with purge ports (optional): drain plate with tapped purge ports offered as an option, allowing for safe discharge of media and easy flush water connection.
