Global manufacturer, Orbinox, has introduced a new pinch valve range to meet customer needs for heavy corrosive-abrasive slurry applications. The PA model pinch valve has been designed to offer excellent performance and low maintenance costs for abrasive, corrosive, and aggressive slurry applications.
The PA model pinch valve is a heavy-duty enclosed construction full bore valve that employs elastomer sleeves for flow shut-off and control in applications with abrasive and corrosive slurries. The sleeve is the only part in contact with the media, no other mechanical parts are required, and it is a maintenance-free part. The PA pinch valve is mainly used in industries such as mining, wastewater treatment, pulp and paper, chemical plants, power plants, cement, and ceramic.
The ORBINOX PA pinch valve is available in sizes ranging from 1” (DN25) up to 12” (DN300). It is suitable for working pressures up to 10 bar with either handwheel, gearbox, or pneumatic cylinder actuators. Electric and hydraulic actuators are available upon request.
This model will be initially marketed in North America, Chile, Peru, and China.
