Mechanical devices used to control the flow of a substance/media within a system as well as its pressure are referred to as ‘valves’. Valves also allow operators to regulate the total amount of media flowing through a system or a process and alter its direction. There are several different types of mechanical valves available nowadays. …
Pinch Valves are economical valves that function similar to a tap. The on/off mechanism in these valves is used to allow, control and shut off the flow of media passing through them. Most Pinch Valves comprise of three parts. These include body/housing, end connections and rubber sleeve. Pinch Valve Working A rubber sleeve is located …
Flow control for solids, liquids , slurries and gasses is an integral part of nearly every industrial process, and valves make it all happen! And while there are many types of valves to consider, one very unique choice to consider is the pinch valve. Pinch valves deliver air and vacuum-tight closure seals (even when closing …
Pinch valves are one of the simplest valve designs available. They use a flexible elastomer body that can be pinched to stop the flow of granular solids, liquids, slurries or gasses. Pinch Valves are commonly used to start, regulate, and stop product flow using a tube or sleeve. Advantages and Disadvantages The pinch valves are …
Valve function: The manual valve is connected to a hand wheel for opening and closing of the pinch valve. The closing and opening occurs by turning it clockwise for opening and counter clockwise for closing the valve. The pneumatic valve can be configured for either normally spring closed or normally spring open, air to actuate. …
Types of Damage that Pinch Valves Usually Suffer The incorrect rubber sleeve material being used can have drastic effects on the valve. Understanding how to use it for different materials here is important. It enables the user to better understand what things may damage their equipment and what precautions they can take to ensure their …
