Clarkson™ KS1 Knife Gate Valves
Reliable, t-for-purpose slurry isolation technology
Slurry knife gate valves operate in some of the harshest and most remote locations on earth. In these challenging
applications, operators often concede routine valve failure, but this comes at a hefty price of downtime and valve
replacement costs. There must be a better solution...
What if you could solve these
An ineffective seal at valve closure can increase the rate of
failure in a slurry knife gate valve and heighten the chance
of a high-pressure downstream leak, putting personnel and
plant at risk.
Due to highly erosive and abrasive process conditions,
most severe service knife gate valves must be replaced
due to excessive body wear.

challenges with a single valve?
Knife gate valves without a full round port in slurry service
experience signicantly more turbulence and fail earlier
than valves with a full round port.
Valves in severe slurry service can require downtime for
maintenance or replacement multiple times per year,
lowering productivity and increasing operating costs.

Now you can with the
Clarkson KS1 Knife Gate Valve
Clarkson™ KS1 Knife Gate Valves
Upgrade your severe service knife gate valves to extend valve life and service intervals, and lower total cost of ownership.
Discover enduring zero leakage sealing performance
Deploy a patented gate edge seal that creates a
continuous seal around the gate, together with a
precision-molded elastomer seat to deliver zero leakage.
This heavy-duty replaceable seat increases the contact
area and resilient sealing ability of the valve compared to
standard O-ring designs, resulting in superior isolation
performance over an extended lifecycle.
Perform in heavy slurry conditions
Clarkson
KS1
Competitor
Valve
Run your processes for longer with a valve design
optimized to thrive in heavy slurry conditions. A
full round port eliminates protrusions into the ow,
minimizing turbulence across the valve to extend
body life. This not only ensures the longevity of sealing
components, but also minimizes the damaging
impacts of slurry on downstream pipeline equipment.
Defend your sealing elements
Extend the life of your valves with standard inlet and
outlet hardened wear rings to protect the sealing
elements and body from abrasive slurry. These durable
Ni-Resist rings can be rotated 3 times through 4
positions to extend valve life and replacement intervals,
allowing you to improve your asset utilization and
process productivity.
Return to production at speed
Minimize valve repair downtime with external
packing adjustments that dynamically self-adjust
pressure to the gate edge seal system. Repairs can be
performed rapidly using standard tools and readily
available spare parts. The valve is also designed to MSSSP-135 face-to-face dimensions for simple changeout
and upgrade of your underperforming valves.
