“Because of the mixers in our range being developed for food and pharmaceutical industries, tri-clamp/RJT connections were ideal. We also needed sanitary fittings, so we opted for AKO’s 2″ VMCE type EHEDG certified Pinch Valve with the addition of a proportional control system which is a fantastic piece of kit!”

“For manufacturing large moulds, we have used butterfly valves in the past. However, the butterfly valves clogged up and one of the valves had a blockage in the pipe. The blockage was so bad that the restriction of the disc would not allow the product to pass through.
To date, we have no complaints whatsoever regarding AKO Pinch Valves over the past 25 years. The products are easy to repair and operate.”
Clive Essex – Foundry Site Manager
“Our company have been using AKO Pinch Valves from the VF range for 25+ years. We use the 100mm & 80mm bore sizes on our plant, for conveying aggregates, sand, gravel, glass, calcium and carbonate. We are exceptionally happy with the performance of AKO valves and would recommend the products to anyone looking for a reliable valve with easy maintenance.”
