Pneumatic pinch valve

A pneumatic pinch valve restricts or closes flow by compressing a flexible flow member with pneumatic force. Sleeve construction, pressure application, and body arrangements vary, so required air pressure, elastomer, abrasion resistance, or solids capability cannot be inferred from the generic name. Fluid properties and the compression cycle must govern selection.

Application and duty

Flow control or isolation with a flexible sleeve after compatibility and cycling are reviewed

Selection summary

Valve and actuator packages for automated isolation, emergency shutdown and routing

An actuated package must be selected from actual valve torque, safety factor, power source, travel time, cycle count and fail position, then function-tested before delivery.
