Experience zero leaks with a true knife gate valve

For many years, plant operators have battled with leakage problems, searching for valves which will isolate the flow and prevent leaks to the atmosphere, but are often left feeling frustrated and out of pocket. 

External leaks from valves during valve cycling are common problems for plant operators around the world. These leaks can have disastrous consequences, contaminating the environment and endangering workers with hazardous materials, resulting in major down time for the company.

Delta IndustrialTM knife gate valves can guarantee plant operators in difficult process applications, zero leakage, John Abbott, Weir Minerals Global Product Manager for Valves confirms.

“This isolation is very important because it ensures safe and consistent plant operation, minimises downtime and provides lowest total ownership cost,” he says.

“Our customers can install Delta IndustrialTM valves into problem areas secure in the knowledge that they will achieve long term performance with exceptional isolation results, protecting their people, their plant and their environment,” Mr Abbott continues. Protecting the environment and ensuring hazardous materials do not harm workers is of prime importance for every site around the world.

Weir Minerals Delta IndustrialTM guided shear gate valves are designed to repeatedly close and provide bi-directional zero leakage isolation no matter what the process fluid may contain.
‘Our knife gate valves guarantee no process will come past the closed valve, even abrasive slurry or when operating under high temperatures,’ John Abbott proudly states.

This is a significant feature of the Delta Industrial™ valves and one which provides numerous important benefits to the customer, providing some insight into why Weir Minerals acquired and continues to invest in Delta Industrial™.
