Global manufacturer Orbinox has recently developed a range of pinch valves for diverse applications, such as mining, water treatment, flue gas desulfurization, pulp & paper and chemical industry. The PA model pinch valve has been designed to offer excellent performance and low maintenance cost for corrosive, abrasive, and aggressive slurry applications.
The 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 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.
