TMV 150 Directional Knife Gate Valve
Featuring a new heavy duty stainless steel valve gate that is:
- Taller, thicker, and has more seating area than any gate we have produced before
- The blade taper is on the downstream side, with an asymmetrical tip design to allow positive seating of the blade during closing
- The gate is fully machined on the upstream side to improve alignment while opening and closing
- New dovetail clevis is threaded to valve shaft creating a more robust shaft-to-blade connection
Additional Valve Upgrades:
- Improved Towniprene® material with higher tensile strength and tear resistance
- A deeper Towniprene® seat channel that improves blade alignment and sealing
- Increased seat area spreads closing forces over a larger area
- Towniprene® wraps around the high chrome wear port to improve bonding
- Larger 6” diameter hydraulic cylinder is standard adding increased opening and closing force
Strong Connection
The all new “dove tail” shaft to blade connection utilizes a custom machined locking block that threads onto the stainless steel threaded shaft. This shaft and block combination is then mated into a matched cutout in the heavy duty blade. This combination of perfectly matched CNC machined parts creates a maintenance free shaft to blade connection.
Bigger, Better Blade, New Formula, Better Fit
This new blade is also larger, thicker and tapered to perfectly fit into the deep Towniprene® valve seat. The new Towniprene® formula is more tear resistant and provides additional tensile strength.
