Product Video: KGC‑MC Metal Cutting Knife Gate Valve
When processes demand the ability to cut through heavy debris without seizing or downtime, the DeZURIK KGC‑MC Metal Cutting Cast Stainless Steel Knife Gate Valve is built to perform. Our product overview video highlights how the KGC‑MC is engineered for extreme service applications where reliable cutting, clearing, and shutoff are critical.
Built for the Toughest Services
Designed for severe environments such as recycle pulp lines, high‑density cleaners, cyclone separators, and detrashing systems, the KGC‑MC combines a rugged cast stainless steel body with an engineered shearing system. This design easily cuts and clears wires, staples, plastics, glass, and other debris—helping prevent buildup, jamming, and unplanned downtime. Optional purge ports provide added protection in especially demanding services by clearing residual material from the flow path.
Powerful Shearing and Long‑Life Components
At the sealing interface, a replaceable and rotatable serrated 410 stainless steel seat works with a hardened, beveled gate manufactured from 410 or 17‑4 PH stainless steel. Together, they deliver aggressive cutting and crushing action while extending service life and reducing maintenance requirements. Oversized cast‑in gate guides—150% larger than standard—maintain precise gate alignment throughout the stroke for consistent, dependable shutoff.
Engineered for Reliability
The KGC‑MC also features DeZURIK’s premium packing system, including a precision‑machined packing chamber, rounded gate edges, and copper scraper rings. This combination helps clean the gate, keep media out of the packing area, and minimize potential leak paths. A heavy‑duty superstructure with a rigid gate connection is designed to withstand high cycle rates and vibration common in recycle and cyclone applications.
Available in sizes 3 through 24 inches and pressure rated to 150 psi CWP, the KGC‑MC delivers reliable performance in the most demanding metal‑laden and debris‑filled services.
