The document summarizes a knife gate valve designed for isolating pulverized coal burner lines during boiler maintenance. The bi-directional wafer valve comes in sizes from DN700 to DN1000 and has manual or pneumatic actuation. It is suitable for use in potentially explosive areas due to its dust-tight design and ability to resist flame propagation in closed position up to explosion pressures of 9.6 to 10.5 bar.

The BX model knife gate valve is a bi-directional wafer type valve specifically designed for the isolation of pulverized coal burner lines on coal fired boilers during maintenance operations. The valve is dust tight which makes it suitable for other bulk handling applications, such as silo outlet valves. This valve has been designed for use in potentially explosive areas (ATEX) and it complies with DIN EN 14460 standard (Explosion Resistant Equipment). In the closed position, the valve can be used as an effective measure against flame propagation in the event of an explosion. Product description: • Bi-directional wafer type knife gate valve • Size range of DN700-1000 (other sizes upon request). See Dimension Charts for pressure rating • Rising stem • Standard flange connection: DIN PN 10 (EN 1092-2) • Manual (bevel gear) and pneumatic (double-acting) actuation options available • Directives: 2006/42/EC (MACHINES), 2014/68/EU (PED) Fluid: Group 1(b), 2 (Cat. I. mod. A) and 2014/34/EU (ATEX). Limits of 2014/34/EU Features: • Two-part bolted body, internally machined, with a fully guided gate along the complete stroke • Wide face to face and internal design with flushing areas avoid any build up of solids that would prevent the valve from closing • Stainless steel gate polished both sides to avoid jamming and seat damage • Viton O-ring seat suitable for bi-directional service • Long life PTFE impregnated synthetic fibre plus EPDM o-ring packing with easy access and adjustable gland follower. Wide range of packing materials available • RAL-5015 blue epoxy-coating on all cast iron/carbon steel components • Automated valves provided with gate guards in accordance with EU Safety Standards • Other options: special materials, fabricated valves, etc. • Actuation accessories: limit & proximity switches, mechanical stops, positioners, solenoid valves, manual overrides, locking devices and fail safe systems

These valves have been classified in Device Group II and fall in the following categories: II 1GD / 3GD c → Category 1G or 1D inside the valve/Category 3G or 3D outside the valve II 1GD / 2GD c → Category 1G or 1D inside the valve/Category 2G or 2D outside the valve DIN EN 14460 (DN 700-1000) Valve housing resistance to explosion pressure and ignition disrupting resistance agaist St1 dust explosion in closed position: DN 700-800: 9,6 bar DN900-1000: 10,5 bar *IMPORTANT: Pressure rating of the valve refers to maximum working pressure of the valve. The maximum explosion pressure exceeds many times the working pressure, so 94/9/EC limits must always be observed
