Stainless Steel Sterile Valves are used in Aseptic & Pharmaceutical Applications

Sanitary or sterile valves are one of the best choices for applications where sterility, cleanliness, zero dead volume, and uninterrupted flow are of utmost importance. The rubber tubing inside the sterile valves provides an unobstructed flow path that drastically reduces shear effect and turbulence of the media. This also results in minimal loss in pressure, which further improves the efficiency of the system. The flowing media also stays inside the original supply tube.

One of the highlighting features of the pinch valve is that it requires little to no maintenance. This is because the only part that undergoes wear and interacts with the flowing media is the rubber sleeve. The component is made of a highly corrosion and abrasion resistant material, such as rubber, silicone, and several other forms of elastomers, which dramatically increases the wear-life of the sleeve in these maintenance free valves.

Valves for Cement, Concrete and Slurries

The processes in this industry require valves for cement that are highly abrasion and wear resistant, because of the nature of materials used in the manufacturing of cement. Pinch valves are the best valves for cement, as they are embedded with a high quality elastomer sleeve present in its housing. This component allows tight control over the cement flow in the transfer lines, as well as keeps the media from interacting with the rest of the system.
