Product Overview
The KOZO Pneumatic Through-Conduit Knife Gate Valve is intended for slurry, pulp and solids-containing process streams where an open bore and remote pneumatic operation are required. The gate withdraws from the conduit when open, reducing obstruction in the flow path.
Key Design Features
- Through-conduit style body geometry.
- Pneumatic cylinder operation.
- Wafer, lug or flanged installation options depending on design.
- EPDM, PTFE or project-specific seat options.
- Limit switch, solenoid valve and air-filter regulator accessories.

Actuator Selection
Cylinder thrust should be sized from line pressure, seat friction, gate size and expected solids loading. Single-acting or double-acting operation can be selected according to the required fail position.
Selection Notes
Internal geometry, blade material and seat design must match abrasion, corrosion, particle size and solids concentration. A generic knife-gate image should not be treated as proof of through-conduit construction.
How to Specify
Please provide DN, pressure rating, medium, solids concentration, particle size, body/blade/seat materials, air pressure, fail action and accessory requirements.
