RF Valves RF-INSAMCOR PB Ported Blade Knife Gate Valves are sealed-design knife gate valves built for challenging wet or dry service where reliable isolation and solids-handling performance are required.
The PB design uses a ported blade that remains in contact with replaceable elastomer sleeves on both sides, supporting bi-directional flow and shutoff. Its pass-through design with standard catch chamber helps reduce areas where unwanted solids can collect and interfere with full gate closure.

With multiple actuation options, sleeve materials, flange drillings, and blade material configurations, the RF-INSAMCOR PB valve family provides a flexible solution for demanding slurry, process, and industrial flow control applications.
These valves are well suited for systems where downstream leakage control, sleeve serviceability, and rugged construction are important operating considerations.
