The VZQA pinch valves from Festo offer an ideal alternative to conventional diaphragm or ball valves in applications requiring smooth media flows and reliable shut-off. Festo’s VZQA valves are particularly durable, energy efficient, easy to service and flexible in use thanks to their open architecture.
Pneumatic pinch valves offer a clean, reliable and technically straightforward solution for controlling and shutting off a wide range of media. These valves deliver reliability and durability to all kinds of production processes dealing with liquid, fibrous, particulate or granular substances. The VZQA product series from Festo offers modularity, flexibility, durability, ease of cleaning and straightforward servicing.
Festo’s VZQA pinch valves will be launched in two versions: an N/O version for media pressures from 0 to 4 bar and an N/C version for media pressures from 0 to 6 bar. A tubular elastomer pinch valve sleeve opens or shuts off the flow by decreasing or increasing operating pressure as appropriate to the version, without any additional actuators or risk of blockage.
The pinch valves VZQA come with different connection caps, housing materials and sealing components for a variety of configuration options, making them extremely useful in optimising pneumatic delivery and metering systems, powder coating systems as well as suction and compressed air control units. The valve’s compact design saves valuable installation space.
