Leading manufacturer of pinch valve for chemicals and abrasives
Chemical plants are mainly used Pinch valves in order to regulate the flow of slurries in certain processes and systems. These pinch valves have flexible bodies that can be shut by pinching them. They are often used when it is necessary for the slurry to pass straight through when the valve is not pinched.
The pinch valve is used to shut off the abrasive and air flow through the blast hose after it leaves the metering valve. The pinch valve is normally open and requires a compressed air supply to close it. Most commonly used on pressure hold blast systems. As no abrasive passes through the valve it is not subject to wear. When the portion of blast hose being pinched wears out it is simply cut off and a new section inserted.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)
A Pinch Valve for chemicals and abrasives allows for only the elastomer sleeve to touch process media. Pinch Valves create wear resistant characteristics that will save on overall maintenance and can even replace costly and maintenance-intensive mechanical equipment.
Chemical processing plants, mineral processors, wastewater treatment plants, mine operations, fertilizer production facilities, cement manufacturing, and pulp & paper mills frequently benefit from the features offered in this specific pinch valve series.
Yes, A Pinch Valve for chemical and abrasive materials are best designed to operate with either the two. Based on what your application requires, this specific series can be operated by an actuator with a flexible sleeve, and still effectively contain both corrosive chemicals and abrasive material flow with its sealing features.
A Pinch Valve for chemical and abrasive applications should be specified based on chemical compatibility, size of abrasive particles, pressure, and temperature, valve flow rates, valve size, operating pressures, and actuation type. These should be taken into consideration for the best reliable, low maintenance, longer valve life pinch valve option.
