MANUALLY OPERATED GATE VALVES
A gate valve, commonly known as a sluice valve, is a valve which opens by lifting a round or rectangular gate or wedge out of the path of the media. The distinct feature of a gate valve is the characteristical sealing surfaces between the gate and seats that are planar, so gate valves are often used when a straight-line flow and minimum restriction is desired. The gate faces can be parallel in some instances, although they are most commonly wedge-shaped and depend entirely upon the service for which it is intended.
ELECTRICALLY OPERATED
As with most industrial valves, the gate valve can be electrically operated for automated systems, various voltages and feed back systems are readily available for all applications and zone areas.
PNEUMATICALLY OPERATED
Not only can we provide manual and electrically operated gate valves, we can also supply pneumatic piston operated gate valves with optional fail conditions, double acting, fail close and fail open. As with the electrically operated option, we can provide telemetry to feed back information as desired.
