Blog

At Armour Valve, we are committed to providing our customers with high-quality, reliable solutions that meet the toughest industrial demands. That’s why we proudly distribute CMO Knife Gate Valves, a globally recognized leader in custom-engineered valve solutions. CMO’s world-class products deliver precision, durability, and tailored performance, ensuring our customers have access to proven solutions that deliver results.

Our decision to partner with CMO as a supplier was driven by their ability to deliver innovative custom valves tailored to diverse and demanding industrial applications. With decades of engineering expertise, CMO Valves aligns with Armour Valve’s commitment to providing high-performance products that exceed customer expectations.

Why CMO Valves Stand Out

  1. Tailored Solutions for Every Challenge: CMO Valves excels in designing custom valves to meet unique operational needs, ensuring seamless integration into customer applications.
  2. Engineered for Durability: Built to endure abrasive materials, high pressures, and harsh chemicals, CMO valves are a reliable choice for demanding applications.
  3. A Legacy of Excellence: With a global reputation for quality and reliability, CMO Valves consistently delivers solutions trusted by industries worldwide.

By choosing CMO, Armour Valve ensures access to products and solutions of the highest caliber for the Canadian market.

CMO’s Solutions for Reliable, Efficient, and Sustainable Operations

Reliable Performance in Challenging Environments

CMO Valves are engineered to excel in harsh conditions, addressing common problems such as abrasive materials and corrosive environments. In one instance, a high-pressure knife gate valve was developed to withstand extreme backpressure and abrasive slurry conditions, maintaining reliable operation where other solutions failed. This durability reduces the need for frequent replacements and lowers maintenance costs, making them an ideal choice for industries like mining and chemical processing. By eliminating issues such as flow disruptions and wear-induced leaks, these valves ensure smooth, uninterrupted operations while minimizing costly downtime.

Supporting Efficiency and Sustainability

With designs focused on long-lasting performance and reduced maintenance needs, CMO Valves help optimize system efficiency and align with sustainability goals. For example, a valve system was installed to facilitate efficient tailings transport over long distances while minimizing turbulence and cavity formation, preserving pipeline integrity and reducing environmental impact. CMO’s precision engineering not only extends equipment lifespan but also minimizes waste and energy use. This dual benefit ensures compliance with industry demands for environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions. See how this innovative solution made an impact—read the full case study here.

Addressing Industry Needs with Tailored Solutions

Off-the-shelf solutions may fall short of meeting the unique demands of industrial operations. CMO offers custom-engineered valves that solve specific pain points, such as designing a high-performance valve solution tailored to the specifications of a critical discharge line under challenging conditions. These solutions reflect evolving industry trends by prioritizing operational efficiency, sustainability, and long-term cost savings.

Bringing CMO Valve Solutions to Canadian Industry

Below we showcase three flagship CMO knife gate valve products designed to meet the toughest industrial challenges. Each product combines advanced engineering with precision manufacturing to deliver reliability and long-term value.

Series T Knife Gate Valves

The Series T is a unidirectional knife gate valve designed for high-flow applications in industries such as water treatment, pulp and paper, and food processing. With a monobloc cast body, it handles liquids with up to 6% solid content while maintaining a low-pressure drop for efficient operation. This valve is available in sizes ranging from DN50 to DN1200 and supports pressures up to 10 bar for smaller diameters, ensuring its versatility across multiple sectors.

 

GD Series Knife Gate Valves

For operations dealing with abrasive slurries, the GD Series is an ideal solution. This bidirectional wafer-design knife gate valve is built with a monobloc cast iron body and stainless-steel gate, complemented by rubber sleeves for enhanced durability. Its ability to deliver a full, continuous flow with low pressure drops makes it a go-to option for mining operations and other highly abrasive applications.

 

 

AB Series Knife Gate Valves

The AB Series is designed for precise control in liquid and semi-solid systems. With a bidirectional flat-seat design, this valve eliminates cavity buildup, ensuring uninterrupted flow and maintaining system integrity. It is particularly effective in chemical processing and water treatment plants, where handling suspended solids with minimal disruption is essential.
