Pinch valves impress with their simplicity and their ability to completely separate the parts of the valve from the medium to be transported.
Function:
An elastic tube is clamped in a passage housing, a movable pinch body is controlled by an electromagnet in such a way that the tube is pinched when it is actuated (NO version) or allows the medium to flow (NC version). By clamping two tubes at the same time, 3/2-way functions can also be implemented.
➞ Mainly for controlling abrasive, corrosive or hazardous media
➞ Complete separation of the valve parts from the medium ➞ effectively prevents the parts of the valve from being attacked by the medium
➞ Prevents contamination of the medium ➞ important in the food industry and medical applications
➞ Insensitive to media with solid particles, can lead to problems with ordinary solenoid valves, e.g. clogging of the pressure build-up hole.
Typical applications:
➞ Bulk material technology
➞ Suction technology
➞ Dosing systems
➞ Etc.
Advantages:
➞ No redirection of the medium
➞ Few movable parts
➞ Reliable Sealing
➞ Easy change of seal (tube)
