PINCH VALVES
type A Pinch Valve

Type A - Pneumatic / Hydraulic

Actuation of the valve, the pinching action, is accomplished by air or hydraulic pressure placed on the sleeve. The valve body acts as a built-in actuator, eliminating costly pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuators. Modulating the air pressure within the annular space between the body and the sleeve can open, throttle or close the valve.

Series 75 Pinch valve

Series 75 / Series 70 - Manual

The heart of this unique valve is the durable, flexible rubber sleeve which is reinforced with high-strength fabric. The sleeve, which is the only part of the valve exposed to the line process, eliminates maintenance. The design principle is very simple - two mechanical pinch bars open and close the elastometer sleeve. The pinching action is on centerline, so the valve closes on a smooth venturi and is self-cleaning.

5200 Pinch Valve

Series 5200 - Pneumatic

A heavy-duty pinch mechanism positions the sleeve for accurate control over a wide flow range. Particularly in slurry applications, the stroke adjustment allows for fine-tuned flow control as the sleeve wears.
True feedback positioning is accomplished through the direct linkage of the pneumatic positioner to the valve stem shaft. Accurate small-change response signals to the positioner greatly enhances control accuracy.

5200E Pinch Valve

Series 5200E - Electromechanical

Series 5200E electrically actuated valves are actuated by AUMA, Limitorque or Rotork electric operators as a standard. Other electric motor operators are also available.

Weirflex Pinch Valve

Weirflex 70 CSO - Manual / Electromechanical

The Weirflex 70 CSO is designed to specifically meet the needs of stormwater and combined sewer systems. The valve features a full-port opening for unobstructed flow when in the open position. To control the rate at which stormwater enters a collection system, the valve is closed from the bottom, creating an adjustable weir. The weir can be closed up to 96% of the total pipeline diameter. This allows operators to adjust for seasonal rainfall changes, wet-weather conditions, storm events or changing population demands.
