Knife Gate Key Specifications

Knife gates for steel and sponge iron plants feature heavy-duty construction to handle highly abrasive iron-bearing materials at elevated temperatures. Wear-resistant blade coatings and robust actuation systems ensure reliable operation in continuous steelmaking environments.
icon
Actuation
Pneumatic cylinder for automated process control in DRI and flux handling; hydraulic for high-force applications; manual hand wheel for maintenance isolation points.
icon
Sealing Type
Standard sealing for coarse materials like pellets and coke; low-leakage seals for fine DRI fines and flux powder to prevent material loss and dust emissions.
icon
Seating Configuration
Hard seated (metal-to-metal) for hot DRI at temperatures up to 400°C; soft seated with high-temperature silicone or Viton seals for ambient iron ore and flux service.
icon
Port Shape
Circular ports for pipeline connections in DRI transfer systems; square and rectangular ports for hopper and chute installations in flux and coke handling.
icon
Body Material
Mild steel body with Hardox 500 blade and wear liners for maximum abrasion resistance; stainless steel option for corrosive pickling line applications.
icon
Size Range
Available from 150 mm to 1200 mm to accommodate various material flow rates in DRI kilns, blast furnace feed systems, and steel plant material handling.

Industrial Applications

Knife gates provide essential material flow control across steelmaking processes from raw material preparation through DRI production and steel finishing.
Application 1

DRI Kiln Discharge

Installed at rotary kiln discharge ends to control hot DRI flow to cooling systems, with hard-seated metal construction rated for temperatures up to 400°C.
Application 2

Blast Furnace Flux Feeding

Positioned at flux (limestone, dolomite) storage bin outlets to regulate feed rate to blast furnace skip hoists or belt charging systems.
Application 3

Coke Oven Feed Hopper

Mounted at coke breeze and coke hopper discharge points to control material feed to sinter plant or blast furnace burden preparation systems.
