What it is

Knife gate valves provide a robust shut-off solution for the discharge of bulk powders, granules, and other solids. They slide a sharp blade through the material stream to interrupt or isolate flow. Bulkmatic Knife Gates are available in hand/chain or pneumatic actuation variants.

Typical applications

• Silo and hopper discharge isolation
• Maintenance access gates
• Reducing flow stops during cleanout
• Emergency or manual shut-off points

Why it matters

• Positive shut-off for coarse or abrasive solids
• Strong construction for high wear environments
• Pneumatic option for remote or automated control
