Knife Gate Valves may also be know as Slurry Knife Gate Valves as this is the most common application for them. The Larox (Flowrox)range are Cast Iron Construction with 316 Stainless Steel Knife

The valve design has a full bore passage with internal seats. The seats are designed in elastomers to meet your application demands. In the open position the valve knife retracts between the two seals, further protection is provided by a secondary seal

The benefit to you is that no metal parts are in contact with the process slurry during operation, this means - 
zero wear to metal components
When closed, the 316 SS knife is forced between the two seals into the valve body, a cavity is designed into the lower valve body allowing any debris to be forced out. This cavity also has a flushing port to remove any material from this location

Larox (Flowrox) are the benchmark for abrasion resistant pump and valves technology
As you would expect from a Larox (Flowrox)product, the seals are available in materials to withstand the harshest materials, Natural Rubber, Nitrile and other materials on request are all available
