Features and Benefits

Bidirectional Knife Gate Valve Series 765 Features and Benefits

A - Bonnet

Design supports simple and quick conversion between manual and pneumatic operation. Features a lubricant injection port for continuous, smooth operation with minimal maintenance.*

B - Secondary Wiper Seal

Self-adjusting secondary wiper seal extends gate life and prevents emission from the top of the valve.

C - Elastomeric Sleeve

Metal-reinforced elastomeric sleeve provides energized bidirectional zero-leakage sealing.

D - Energized Sleeve

In the open position, the energized sleeve protects all metal parts from direct contact with flowing process media.

E - Rugged Gate

Available in a variety of corrosion-resistant alloys for the rugged gate, selectable based on application requirements.

F - Unrestricted Flow Path

Unrestricted flow path achieved through full-port valve design, minimizing pressure drop and extending valve life.

G - Gate Fully Closed

Ample push-through clearance supports full gate closure.

H - Compact Wafer Body

Compact wafer body is easy to install and drilled to ASME CL 150 flange standards. Other drilling options available upon request.

I - Flush Plate with Threaded Wash Port (Optional)

Optional flush plate with threaded wash port for safe media discharge and easy wash water connection.

FAQ

How does the Bray Series 765 bidirectional knife gate valve achieve bidirectional sealing and reduce media accumulation in slurry applications?

The Series 765 uses a metal-reinforced elastomeric sleeve for bidirectional energized sealing. The push-pull gate and dual elastomer seat design provide self-cleaning action that reduces media accumulation in the valve cavity. When the valve opens, the energizing sleeve protects metal components from direct contact with flowing media.

What media and industry applications is the Series 765 suitable for?

This series is designed for abrasive industrial slurry applications, suitable for sugar, pulp and paper, and similar industries. The full-port flow path does not obstruct pipeline media when fully open, helping to reduce flow resistance. Specific configuration should be confirmed based on actual media characteristics, concentration, temperature, and pressure conditions.

How to select body, gate, and seat materials for the Bray Series 765?

Body options include ductile iron, CF8, CF8M, CF3M, or WCB. Gate options include 304, 316, 317 stainless steel, SAF 2507, SAF 2205, 17-4PH, Hastelloy® C, or Monel®. Seat options include natural rubber (max 74°C) or EPDM (max 120°C). Material selection should consider media corrosiveness, abrasiveness, and operating temperature.

What are the pressure, size, and actuator options for the Series 765?

Size range is NPS 2 to 12, DN 50 to 300. Maximum allowable working pressure is 90 psi (6.2 bar). Actuator options include handwheel, bevel gear, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric. The topworks design supports quick conversion between manual and pneumatic actuation.

What structural features should be noted during Bray Series 765 installation and maintenance?

The valve uses a two-piece bolted compact wafer body, drilled per ASME CL 150 flange standard for installation, with face-to-face dimensions per MSS SP81. The top features a lubrication injection port, and the secondary wiper seal is self-adjusting to extend gate life and reduce top emissions. For applications requiring safe排放 or clean water access, a flush plate with threaded cleanout port is optional.
