The Simple Function of a Wear Free Valve
Wear free valves of the rubber pinching type ensure safe and precise media control and flow operation in a diverse range of industrial applications. They are specially designed to sustain the damage caused by highly abrasive and corrosive materials. This type of wear free valves are made using cutting-edge technology to construct highly durable and corrosion-resistant components, allowing the valve to be operated in different ways according to the requirements of different applications.

The Importance of Valves for Chemicals in the Industry
Pinch valves are increasingly becoming popular in industries that involve handling corrosive and fibrous materials. This type of valve is highly suitable for such applications because they use a 100% tight blocking method and have the ability to shut easily and quickly. Not only that, valves for chemicals with a pinching sleeve mechanism are known for the high versatility in applications with specific operating temperature requirements.

AKO Valves for Slurry are a Great Choice for Handling Vicious Liquids
One of the main reasons why pinch valves are the optimum choice for controlling the flow of slurries across a wide industrial area is because they are embedded with a flexible tube that produces a 100% tight seal when it is pinched/shut off. When purchased from a reputed pinch valve manufacturer such as AKO, valves for slurry offer high quality, are up to industry standards, offer easy control over media flow, and the full bore design limits leakage to almost zero.

Looking in Detail at a Flexible Hose with Valves
When media flows through the valve, pressure is applied into a nipple fitting on the side of the body, and the valve changes its position. Usually, the valve is normally open so that when air pressure is applied, the flexible hose with valves closes. On the other hand, a pinch valve can be kept normally closed, so alternatively will need air pressure to open the rubber hose.

Why Tight Shut off Valves with a Squeeze-closed Sleeve are the better option
Tight shut off valves with a rubber hose that squeezes closed are designed to fully open and close tightly to ensure zero leakage. These valve types are relatively simpler in terms of design and operation compared to a ball valve for example, allowing for a repeatable and reliable tight shut off operation. These squeeze-closed types of tight shut off valves are used as a safety function in applications where immediate cut off of the flow of media is of paramount importance.

Important Requirements of Pinch Valve Vacuum Technology
Pinch Valve vacuum technology puts great emphasis on the quality of the components and reliable functioning of pinch valves. Shutoff valves in vacuum systems are subject to several special requirements, apart from the general shutoff elements and their technical aspects. With pinch valve vacuum, the additional demands are met only when right shutoff devices are installed, taking into account the method of construction, operation, and size suitable for each application.

Pinch Valves Vs. Butterfly Valves with Silo Safety
Controlled filling systems using butterfly valves are occasionally used on silo safety systems, but the flow through the valve is restricted by the butterfly disk, slowing down the filling process. The valve seat becomes contaminated with trapped product, resulting in spillage, waste and cross-contamination. The butterfly disk also wears very quickly increasing maintenance down time.
The use of a pinch valve eliminates these problems immediately.
