What is the CMO Valves AB knife gate valve used for?
AB is a bidirectional knife gate valve for isolating liquid flow in either direction. It is used in pulp and paper, chemical, food, pumping and water-treatment duties. Pressure, solids content, temperature and sealing requirements should be checked before selection.
Can the CMO Valves AB handle suspended solids?
CMO Valves states suitability for liquids containing up to 4% suspended solids. The manufacturer recommends installing it after filtration to remove large particles. Its flat seat area without internal cavities helps reduce solids build-up around the seal.
What sizes and working pressures are available for AB?
Standard sizes run from DN50 to DN600, with larger sizes available on request. Maximum working pressure depends on diameter and ranges from 10 to 3 bar. AxFlow can help confirm the correct limit for the selected size.
What is the difference between CMO Valves A and AB?
A is unidirectional, while AB is designed for bidirectional isolation. A is stated for liquids with up to 5% suspended solids, while AB is stated for up to 4% and filtered service. The correct choice depends on flow direction, solids content and process requirements.
Can AxFlow support CMO Valves AB service and spare parts?
AxFlow can help identify the installed valve and required wear components. Service support can include assessment of seals, gate and other parts. Provide valve size, materials, actuator and identification details when requesting support.
