Stop using valves that weren't designed for slurry — and wondering why they fail.

Butterfly valves cavitate. Ball valves clog. Standard gate valves jam on solids.

Knife Gate Valves exist specifically for this:
1️⃣ Full-bore flow — no restriction, no pressure drop on thick slurries
2️⃣ Blade cuts through settled solids — no need to flush before closing
3️⃣ No metal touches the media — elastomer and PU linings protect all wetted surfaces
4️⃣ Lower operating torque — reduces actuator sizing and running costs

FPVT manufactures UGV, FGV, SGV, and WGV Knife Gate Valves in South Africa, from DN 50 mm to DN 750 mm, for mining, mineral processing, power generation, chemical, water, effluent, and wastewater applications.

"Which Knife Gate Valve do I need?" — We get this question every week. Here's the answer in 30 seconds.

FPVT manufactures four Knife Gate Valve options, each built for a specific duty:
• UGV Universal Wafer — moulded inner body with no removable sleeves, ideal for water, effluent, sewage, and low-maintenance service
• FGV Flanged — heavy-duty slurry isolation with removable sleeves for demanding mining, power, and process applications
• SGV Polyline — designed for abrasive media with a polyurethane-lined body that reduces wear and build-up
• WGV Wafer — compact bi-directional design with removable sleeves for tight installations and space-restricted pipelines

The right valve depends on your media, pressure, space, and maintenance requirements.

That's where we come in.

Response times as fast as 0.04 seconds.

FLÜSS Poppet Valves are built for speed and reliability — available in 2/2, 3/2, and 4/2 configurations from ¼" to 1½" BSP.

With standard and high-temperature options (up to 150°C) and voltage flexibility across 220VAC, 110VAC, and 24VDC, FLÜSS is the go-to for press clutch/brake circuits and pneumatic automation.

Most valve suppliers give you one option and tell you to make it work. We give you three.

FPVT Knife Gate Valves come in three purpose-built configurations — because no two slurry applications are the same:
• FGV Flanged — double-seat design for heavy-duty isolation.
• SGV Polyline — one-piece wafer body with Polyline-Urethane lining for zero build-up.
• WGV Wafer — compact design for tight installations with bi-directional sealing.

All three types are manufactured in South Africa, available from DN 50 mm to DN 750 mm, and compatible with every actuation method.

Which type fits your application? Let's find out.

When is an air motor the smarter choice over electric?

When you need intrinsic safety in hazardous areas. When your motor might stall under load. When you need washdown capability. When space is tight.

FPP Vane Air Motors deliver power without the risks of electrical components — and they're simpler to control, maintain, and install.

The biggest enemy of a Knife Gate Valve isn't wear. It's build-up.

Slurry collects in cavities. Bonnets clog. Blades jam. And then your maintenance team is pulling a valve off the line — again.

The SGV Polyline Knife Gate Valve eliminates this problem by design:
• One-piece wafer body — no cavities for slurry to collect.
• Smooth Polyline-Urethane lining — no build-up, no blockages.
• Built-in deflector cone — prevents solids from packing behind the blade.
• No gland to maintain.

The result? A valve that stays operational longer between services.

DN 50 mm – 750 mm | Up to 10 bar | Optional V-Notch for flow control | ISO 9001:2015 certified
