Knife Gate Key Specifications

Actuation

Pneumatic cylinder for automated production line control; manual hand wheel for batch processing; electric actuator for modulating flow control in continuous processes.

Sealing Type

Low-leakage seals for mineral fiber and powder containment; zero-leakage inflatable seals for fine silica, calcium silicate, and other respirable dust materials.

Seating Configuration

Soft seated with PTFE or silicone seal rings for lightweight fibrous materials; smooth blade profile to prevent fiber wrapping and material accumulation on the blade.

Port Shape

Square and rectangular ports for hopper and chute integration; circular ports for pneumatic conveying connections in insulation raw material transport systems.

Body Material

Mild steel body with smooth internal surfaces; stainless steel option for glass fiber and chemical binder contact; polished blade for fibrous material self-cleaning.

Size Range

Available from 100 mm to 800 mm for raw material batching, fiber processing, powder handling, and finished product flow control in insulation manufacturing.

Industrial Applications

Raw Material Batching Hopper
Installed at silica sand, limestone, and soda ash hopper outlets to control precise batch proportioning for glass fiber or mineral wool cupola furnace feed preparation.
Mineral Wool Fiberization Feed
Mounted at mineral melt collection chambers to control fiber flow to forming lines, with heat-resistant construction for proximity to high-temperature fiberization zones.
Calcium Silicate Powder Handling
Positioned at calcium silicate powder storage hopper outlets to control feed to mixing and molding stations, with zero-leakage seals for respirable dust containment.
