Double gland knife gate valve
Double gland GKC is developed for knife gate valves that are subject to severe operating conditions.
It is often used on valves in junk traps and in difficult biomass applications.
The double gland consist of two glands where the lower one has a chamber with integrated purge ports.
The first gland takes care of the main sealing function, while the second secures that no media reaches surrounding environment. Flushing between the gland boxes,or pressurising with air if it is dry media, keeps the gate clean and removes media that might have passed through the first gland box.
