Flanged Pneumatic Pinch Valve

The squeeze valve has been for being used in the Bulk Handling sector. The main characteristics of this valve are the free total passage of product and the absence of parts subject to wearing, which results in no need for maintenance. Air actuated pinch valves offer a cost-effective solution to flow control problems.

Two main types are available: the flanged version and the threaded one.

Both types can have different types of sleeves and different types of material in contact with the product, according to the users' needs. This valve turns out to be very cheap because it only needs an electro valve to be put into operation. The use of the pinch valve is especially recommended when handling abrasive powders or for discharging from filters or cyclones without changing the pressure inside. Another example of an application is to intercept the flow from a truck during the charging of a silo. This device, in fact, prevents accidents in the silo in case an overpressure should occur.
