Dmmond SQ
Squared Knife Gate Valves
Squared or rectangulas knife gate valves for discharging loaded fluids with solids in silos.
SQ Squared Knife Gate Valves
Beyond the valve
The Paravalves Dmmond SQ welded construction knife gate is designed with a square or rectangular section for the main inlet and outlet bore. The precision machined knife gate edge is capable of easily cutting through media while maintaining the metal seat in the valve. The knife gate is fully guided with bronze supports throughout the stroke, improving valve life and performance for the most demanding applications. Mainly used for handling fluids heavily loaded with solids in gravity discharge in horizontal valve position.

Even for gas or high pressure water applications.
At paravalves Dmmond SQ Squared or Rectangular knife gate valves special top gate sealing concept is designed to ensure full tightness to the atmosphere even for gas or high pressure water applications.
Every design is fully hydrostatically tested at our facilities according to API 598, testing body cavity at 1.5 times the design pressure.
Working under the most extreme condition with wear rings.
Protect the valve, work in any situation.
Wear rings or other special materials are available under request for extreme condition applications, ensuring best performance of the valve at heavy duty applications as well as a longer life for the equipment.
Engineered to last.
Even for extreme working conditions with abrasive fluids.
From optimized parametric design 3D modeling tools, to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) systems, our reliable knife gate valves are ready to be manufactured with confidence.
Every component is designed and validated by top-notch softwares by the paravalves engineering team.
Fully guided stroke
Bronze guiding for an optimal performance
The Valve is fully guided with bronze guides throughout the entire stroke, improving valve life and performance for the most demanding applications. These guides are also adjustable to ensure optimum sealing.
One design to rule them all.
Direct handwheel, Gearbox, Electric actuator, Pneumatic or Hydraulic cylinder actuation types are possible with Dmmond SQ Squared Knife Gate Valves. The design allows actuators to be interchangeable each other even without removing the valve from the pipeline. It most cases, drilled according to ISO 5210 standard.
