We are now the only renowned manufacturer of knife gate valves with a service-friendly two-part housing. All others have long since abandoned this design because of manufacturing costs and now only have valve bodies with a one part housing. But the simplest way of replacing wearing parts is if the housing is in two parts. In addition, the one-part housing has the following further disadvantage: the space for inserting the valve plate in the housing has to be relatively large and this increases the danger of blocking and draining paper fibres. With our valve, this problem is prevented by the narrow tolerances between the valve plate and the smooth-running plastic internal shell. The valve guides are emptied via a specially shaped sturdy valve plate. A sophisticated system for attaching accessories and the drives - which are found here as the LOHSE modular system - is another advantage of our concept.

Our repair service restores your used LOHSE COMPACT valve to an as-new condition with the guarantee of a new valve.
