Knife Gate Valve WB11

Stafsjö’s knife gate valve WB11 is bi-directional and can therefore be installed into a pipe system independent of pressure direction. Integrated flange gaskets makes it easy to install. WB11 has a full bore with no cavity which gives excellent flow characteristics, and this makes it suitable for fluids, sludge and liquids with solids in suspensions such as water, sewage and bio mass.

WB11 has a robust coated valve body in nodular iron. It is equipped with a gate in stainless steel, which has a polished edge in order to minimize friction and to lower required operation force. The valve is supplied with a sealing profile in Nitrile or EPDM, which is reinforced with a steel core. The gland box is equipped with Stafsjö’s box packing TwinPack™, to secure that no media reaches the surrounding environment. A box bottom scraper, which is standard from DN 200, prolongs the box packing braids’ service life. The valve is modular designed and it can easily be supplied with different types of actuators and accessories.

The WB11 valve is designed, manufactured, inspected and tested according to the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 97/23/EC) category I and II module A1. The valve is CE marked when it is applicable.

Other WB versions are the semi lugged WB available from DN 350 up to DN 1400 and the fully lugged WB14 available up to DN 600. For square flange connection we are able to supply WB11k with additional tapped holes for this or WB12 which has a square fully flanged valve body.
