Orbinox EK is a high-performance uni-directional wafer knife gate valve used for industrial services requiring higher pressure capability in smaller sizes. It is intended for engineers and maintenance teams that need dependable isolation or flow control where the medium and operating conditions demand a purpose-built valve design.
EK retains the non-clogging wafer knife-gate concept but is configured as the higher-performance uni-directional option in the Orbinox range. Standard connections include EN 1092 PN10 and ASME Class 150, with alternative flange standards available on request.
The current range covers DN 50–1200. Published maximum working pressure is 16 bar on DN 50–125, 10 bar on DN 150–250, 6 bar on DN 300–400 and decreases by size to 2 bar on DN 700–1200.
Matching the valve design to solids content, pressure direction and sealing duty helps reduce jamming, premature wear and unplanned shutdowns. AxFlow can support configuration review, actuator selection, spare parts and service throughout the valve lifecycle.
