Flowrox introduced a new, pioneering valve solution, the PVG valve. This robust pinch valve comes standard with a strong metal body, a simple bullet closing mechanism and opening tags in the inside sleeve.
The PVG is a continuation of the elastomeric PVEG valve that was designed some years ago as a lightweight but durable valve solution. The PVG is a stronger version based on the successful design of the PVEG. These two valve types will complement each other in heavy-duty processes.
The PVG has been developed for processes involving pressure resistance, heat, abrasion, corrosion and aggressive slurries. It is a reliable isolation valve especially for tanks, thickeners, pump isolation, automatic valves, measuring devices and sampling systems.
“As with other Flowrox pinch valves, the PVG has various end-use areas. There are several dimensions available from 50mm to 250mm, and it can be used in high process temperatures up to 110 °C. PVG also has opening tags in the sleeve as standard and therefore it can be applied with crystallizing media that normally causes valve failures”, says Simo Manninen, vice president, Valve Division of Flowrox.
