Why Pneumatic Actuation Matters In heavy-duty U.S. operations-mining in the Midwest, pulp-and-paper mills in the Northwest, and municipal wastewater plants nationwide-flow control with solids-laden media presents unique challenges. Manual knife gate valves cut reliably through slurry but can slow cycle times, increase manual intervention and risk exposure. Pneumatic knife gate valves automate the “cut-through” action,

You wouldn’t use a dimmer switch to power off a room. And you wouldn’t slam a light switch halfway and call it “brightness control.” So why do so many engineering teams still confuse globe valves and gate valves? They’re both linear motion valves. Both use a rising stem. Both are found in power plants, process
