Product Description

High-performance Pneumatic Actuated Pinch Valve

Our high-performance Pneumatic Actuated pinch vave is a 2/2-way valve designed to shut off or control the flow of corrosive, abrasive, or granular media. It is manually operated to open or close the valve. In the open position, the valve has no restrictions and allows a wide range of media to pass through the bore. The flexible internal rubber sleeve in the valve keeps the media isolated from the rest of the valve, preventing contamination or damage to the valve's other components.  Designed with advanced technology and robust materials, these valves are cost-effective, reliable, and easy to use, making them desirable in various industrial applications.

How does a pinch valve work?
The pinch valve diagram below illustrates a pinch valve's important components. Three major components are the housing (labeled D), the sleeve (labeled E), and the end connections (labeled G). The rubber sleeve is fitted into the housing from inlet to outlet and is the only component that contacts the media. The end connections are bolted, screwed, or threaded at each end to provide support and connection to the valve.

Pinch valve operation can be either mechanical or automatic. A mechanical pinch valve is a multi-turn valve, meaning the handwheel (labeled A) turns more than 360° during the opening and closing of the valve. The valve's normal position is open (labeled A). While the handwheel turns, the valve stem (labeled B) lowers. A pinch bar (labeled C) presses against the mid-section of the pinch valve's sleeve until the sleeve is pinched tightly (labeled B) and flow stops. Another mechanical pinch valve design has a lowering pinch bar and a rising pinch bar from the bottom (labeled F).

Automatic pinch valves operate using compressed air, hydraulic fluid, or a solenoid. While the medium operating the pinch valve differs slightly between the three automatic pinch valve types, the result is the same. A pneumatic pinch valve uses compressed air to pinch tight the center of the sleeve. A hydraulic pinch valve uses hydraulic fluid to do the same. Finally, a solenoid pinch valve uses an electric current to control the movement of a plunger that pinches down the sleeve.

Pinch Valve Vs. Conventional Valves

In conventional valves, such as ball valves and gate valves, particles can get trapped around the ball or disc and clog the valve. However, the pinch valve's rubber sleeve closes around and traps particles, ensuring that these particles will flow through the system once the pinch valve opens.
When force is no longer applied to the rubber sleeve, the sleeve's elastic rebounding property, along with the force of the upstream flow, fully opens the valve. The fully opened valve provides free flow passage to the media, preventing the valve from clogging or blockage. When abrasive media strikes the rubber pinch valve sleeve, the sleeve absorbs the impact and deflects its energy back to the media. This resilient property ensures slower wear and longer service life than valves using metal surfaces.

Advantages of Pinch Valves

The Pinch Valve is proven to be the most reliable, cost effective and easy to use valve on the market for some time, in many different applications.
The Pinch Valve does not have any additional parts that will need replacing every so often such as rings, seals and packing etc, giving the Pinch Valve a very good total cost of ownership. Other advantages of the Pinch Valve include: 
· Low & easy maintenance
· Low weight
· No clogging or dead spots
· Compact, simple, robust & straight through design
· Very fast opening/closing times
· Less air consumption
· Self cleaning
· Permanent seal with tight shutoff
· Minimal turbulence & friction
· No mechanical parts, and no bearings, seals or packing required.
· Only one replaceable part (elastomer sleeve)

Selection criteria

Consider the following criteria while selecting a pinch valve for an application:
1. Material:
The valve body material should be lightweight for easy handling. The material does not need to be compatible with the media since they do not come in contact.
The rubber sleeve should be given careful consideration because it is the only component that comes in contact with the media.
The pinch valve sleeve material may include natural rubber, NBR (nitrile), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), silicon, food quality rubber, etc.
The material should have good abrasion resistance to avoid damage by the media.
2. Pressure: To prevent a failure to open/close, take the following pressure differentials into account:
Opening: The operating pressure needs to be greater than the control pressure. If the pressure difference is not big enough, the operating pressure will not be able to open the sleeve. Control pressure is typically 0 bar when opening.
Closing: The control pressure needs to be greater than the operating pressure. If the pressure difference is not big enough, the control pressure will not be able to close the valve.
3.Temperature: Ensure that the valve materials can withstand the application's minimum and maximum operating temperatures.
4.Certification: Some applications may require certification for safety and no media contamination (e.g., food grade, drinking water, etc.).

FAQs

Q: What is a pinch valve?
A: Pinch valve is ideal for shutting off or controlling the flow of abrasive, granular, or corrosive media.

Q: How does a pinch valve work?
A: The valve's actuator pushes down at the middle of the sleeve to close the valve. This pinching traps any media still in the middle and stops flow entirely.

Q: What is a pinch valve used for?
A: Pinch valves are suitable for many different applications. Most noteworthy, pinch valves are exceptional at controlling and stopping the flows of abrasive and solid media.
