What is a Pinch Valve?

A pinch valve is a type of valve that opens or closes a fluid path without having the valve body in contact with the flowing medium. As the name suggested the control of the fluid path relies on the pinch force on the elastic tubing, such as silicon, PU or others. The main advantage of using a solenoid pinch valve over a gate valve or a piston valve is that the valve body does not have contact with aggressive flowing media, thus the life time, and in the sanitary aspect, is much higher. Many types of pinch valve exist in the market, and in this article, we will be introducing three types of pinch valves that ZECO offer, followed by the advantage and disadvantage of pinch valves, and conclude with what you should consider before making a decision on which pinch valve suits you the best.

Are you Looking for a Reliable and Cost-effective Pinch Valve Solution?

If this is the case, then you have found exactly the right place with ZECO Valve, the global market leader for air-actuated pinch valves. ZECO Valve is a family-run company, which has been manufacturing reliable, cost-effective, and innovative pinch valves since 1991. Pinch Valves also known as squeeze valves, rubber hose- or tube valves are the ideal shut-off valves such as control valve solutions for abrasive, corrosive, and fibrous products, such as granulates, powders, and liquids containing solids. They are used for unlimited industrial applications and industries due to their design and construction benefits/advantages.

Pinch Valve Applications

Solenoid pinch valves are used to open or close the flow path of the pinched silicon tube. The main body of a pinch valve is not in direct contact with the gas or the liquid, and only the inside of the tube will have direct contact with the liquid and gas fluid flowing through. Therefore, the pinch valve is not in direct contact with the fluid and is suitable for flow control devices on medical equipment, lab analyzers, food manufacturing equipment, and chemical manufacturing equipment.
