The XC model knife gate is a wafer valve designed for industrial bulk handling service applications (powdered and granular products).

The special design of the body allows for easy passage of the fluid and makes it ideal for use as silo outlet valve. It is widely used in industries such as:

  • Power plants
  • Food and beverage
  • Chemical plants
  • Mining


The valve is normally installed in the reverse position (seat upstream) in order to avoid problems such as build-up in valve body, seat wear or difficult closing.
