Pneumatic Operated Pinch Valves Are Adaptable
The great versatility of the Pneumatic operated Pinch Valve provides users with the benefit of processing products that require a sterile environment. End flange configurations can be incorporated into the construction of the valve, to provide a flush, sealed connection with the product flow channeling. However, in situations where there is not a flush connection, seals can be placed in the valve and its fittings, to prevent particle entrapment and for an in-line cleaning process. Users benefit from the variable design of the Pneumatic Pinch Valve because of its ability to perform in most applications no matter their nature. However, a user should be aware that the construction and ability of the valve chosen for their particular application is compatible with the processed material flow. To ensure maximum valve performance dedicated knowledge of the flow product properties is needed with any potential reactions during the processing. The innovative manufacturers of Air operated Pinch Valves have the capacity to design and construct valve casings and the crucial elastomer sleeves, able to meet specific user needs. Therefore, it is necessary for a user to update them with any relevant product information, to ensure attaining maximum system performance, minimum maintenance with cost effectiveness. This particular valve type contains advantages in their design that make them suitable for applications where there is a need of cleanliness, highly efficient drainage and are easily cleaned. These are particular features, desirable in applications related to medical, pharmaceutical and associated sanitary industries. Generally, Air Pinch Valves are designed whereby the compression pressure is directed solely from the top of the valve. The actuation of the valves can also be by a manual method, or by electro-mechanical means, obtained by the activation of a solenoid. The “pinching” action of the valve is accomplished by compressed air pressure, directly onto the elastomer sleeve. Due to the body or casing of the valve acting as a built-in actuator, the high cost of pneumatic, electric or hydraulic operation is prevented. Control Factors of the Valve When compared to valves of other varieties the Pneumatic operated Pinch Valve appears simple in design, construction and operation. This overall exceptional innovative simplicity could be said to be the power behind the great success of this valve type. It consists of only three basic parts, only one of which has any direct contact with a product flow. Incorporated inside the valve casing is an extremely flexible, elastomer sleeve, which can stop, regulate, direct and totally control the flow of a product material, liquid or fluid. Pneumatic Pinch Valves are full bore, linear action valves, providing users with the option of enabling them to be utilized in an “Off-On” action, or in a throttling capacity. This extremely versatile valve provides a valuable service in many industries, including medical and pharmaceutical applications, wastewater, slurries, pulp and a great variety of others. The valves can effectively control material flows that have abrasive and corrosive content, due to the unique benefit of the valve not having any direct contact between any of its metal parts and the processed product.
