Pinch valves are ideal for intercepting a variety of products. Their internal and external parts are made of steel or aluminum. These valves are primarily used in industrial applications. There are several types of pinch valves available, including proportional pinch valves, Air Actuated Pinch Valves (AAPV), and Isogate(r) Pinch Valves.
Air Actuated Pinch Valves
Air Actuated Pinch Valves are an excellent option when complete flow regulation is required. This type of valve works by compressing an elastic sleeve to open and close the valve. These valves have the added advantage of regulating the flow percentage in exact percentages, and they are very reliable and low maintenance. They are ideal for a wide range of applications, including those involving chemicals, water, and air.
Air Actuated Pinch Valves are a great option if you need to regulate the flow of fibrous or abrasive products. Air-operated pinch valves have a highly durable rubber sleeve, allowing them to last for a long time. They are available in a variety of sizes and connection materials.
Isogate(r) proportional pinch valve
The EQV series of proportional pinch valves allows you to control the flow rate of gases or liquids. These valves feature full media isolation and a high-force stepper motor that actuates in both directions. They are ideal for use in life science, semiconductor and pharmaceutical applications.
Flowrox
Flowrox is one of the world’s leading pinch valve manufacturers. Their products are designed to meet the toughest requirements of process industries, and are ideal for shut-off or control applications that require abrasion and corrosion resistance. Flowrox pinch valves are easy to operate, and require just one-tenth of the torque of a plug valve to operate. Flowrox pinch valves are reliable, and they’re also easy to repair. The pinch valve manufacturers company is also one of the first pinch valve manufacturers to receive an ISO9001 Quality Certificate. The certificate covers their manufacturing, sales, and marketing processes.
Flowrox by Neles manufactures pinch valves, peristaltic hose pumps, and dosing systems for a wide range of industries. With more than 30 years of experience in elastomer technology, the company has created a benchmark for quality heavy duty valves and pumps. The company also boasts a worldwide sales and service network, with representatives in 55 countries around the world.
AKO
AKO is one of the world’s leading pinch valve manufacturers and is one of the world’s largest distributors of air operated pinch valves. These valves are used for the control of industrial slurries and powders, as well as hygienic food and pharmaceutical applications.
AKO manufactures several types of pinch valves, including abrasion-resistant valves. These valves are made of three main components: a durable aluminum valve body, abrasion-resistant sleeve, and abrasion-resistant connection ends. This type of valve is widely used in pharmaceutical and hygienic food applications, where it can handle abrasive materials.
Isogate(r) MP CB
The Isogate MP CB pinch valve series is a hand wheel operated, enclosed-body mechanical pinch valve that offers positive control of flowing abrasive and corrosive media. It features a dual action center pinch closing mechanism, a full-bore design, and is suitable for both full-flow and flow modulation.
Its design features a flexible elastomer sleeve that is enclosed within a cast metal housing. The sleeve is actuated by pressurized water or air. Once the pressure is released, the valve reopens to allow normal flow.
