Abstract

A knife gate valve including a knife valve gate, a gate actuation mechanism, operatively connected to the knife valve gate, a two-part sleeve and a valve body. The two-part sleeve includes an upstream section and a downstream section with the knife valve gate being selectively insertable therebetween. The valve body includes an upper casing section and a lower casing section pivotally connected to one another. The upper casing section and the lower casing section each include a concave cavity together defining a sleeve receiving channel of the valve body. The two-part sleeve is removably engageable in the sleeve receiving channel. The upper casing section and the lower casing section are pivotable between an operative configuration preventing removal of the two-part sleeve from the sleeve receiving channel and a maintenance configuration allowing insertion and removal of the two-part sleeve from the sleeve receiving channel.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pinch valve having upper and lower casings respectively supporting upper and lower pinch elements. The upper and lower casings are adapted for receiving a sleeve. A synchronization mechanism drives movements of the upper and lower pinch elements for pinching the sleeve. The upper and lower casings are connected by a pivot allowing pivoting of one or the other of the upper and lower casings for opening of the pinch valve, and for ease of access to the sleeve for maintenance purposes.

IPC Classes  ?

• F16K 7/02 - Diaphragm cut-off apparatus, e.g. with a member deformed, but not moved bodily, to close the passage with tubular diaphragm
• F16K 43/00 - Auxiliary closure means in valves, which in case of repair, e.g. rewashering, of the valve, can take over the function of the normal closure meansDevices for temporary replacement of parts of valves for the same purpose
• F16L 55/10 - Means for stopping flow in pipes or hoses
