Series DB

Series DB

Vahn-Tech DB Series funnel knife gate valve is used in service as a pneumatic residue discharge valve in pulp making, paper making and sewage treatment. This type of valve is well suited for high consistency media containing solids, fiber or residue, serving as a residue discharge valve on stock cleaners, gravity separators or pressurized screens. The "funnel" at the bottom of the collects waste discharged from the valve body during the closing stroke. This greatly reduces the wear between the body and gate, and prolongs the life cycle of the valve.

Sight glass set at the bottom of the funnel allows for observation of the waste level in the funnel

Two-piece body construction with no cavities eliminates product build-up

Double Stem Bearings at the top of the yoke for easy operation and for torque reduction

Internal packing and packing gland are internally loaded, ensuring a tight seal and preventing leakages

Travel aligning block installed at the inlet of the body serves as a supportive force to regulate the flow of the accumulated medium between the gate and body cavity

Seats are backed with an o-ring to give the seat a self-compensating wear function; this results in excellent seat tightness and prolonged life cycle

Gate is designed with standard precision ground and hard plated chrome which provides superior abrasion and corrosion resistance
