The Geeplus range of pinch valves suit a wide variety of applications calling for control of water, air and other non-aggressive fluids across a wide range of industries. Pinch valves are used to ease the flow of liquid through a tube by opening and closing the flow, without any contact between the liquid and the valve itself. The tube is pinched between a fixed and a moving bar; as these are closed together the tube is pinched closed and the flow is shut off.
Typically used with silicon tubing as the carrying device, the pinching is achieved by energizing the solenoid. This cuts off the media in the tube by pinching or releasing the tubing. The fluid can flow in either direction.
