The 177500 - Cast iron knife gate valve 177 DN500 PN10 EPDM bidirectional + limit switch (article number 177500) is a knife gate valve from manufacturer SFRC. Version: body cast iron And-GJL-250; knife plate Stainless steel F304 (1.4301); seat EPDM; pressure rating PN10. Sealing: bidirectional (tight in both flow directions).
A knife gate valve shuts off with a flat knife plate that cuts perpendicularly through the medium. This makes it ideally suited for contaminated, fibrous, paste-like and powdery media where an ordinary valve would jam.
