Pinch valves can be used in a variety of applications due to the wide range of materials used for the body and flanges/socket end covers on a pinch valve, such as aluminium, steel, stainless steel, plastic, e.g. POM or PVC, as well as a removable sleeve in different elastomer grades (NR, EPDM, IIR, FPM, silicone, etc.). Some examples include:
PNEUMATIC CONVEYING TECHNOLOGY, for isolating, dosing and regulating solids / bulk materials of all types
VACUUM CONVEYING, for sealing / isolating powders, granulates, fibres, tablets, pills, etc.
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, for dosing / isolating dyes, pigments, additives, fertilizers, etc.
PLASTICS INDUSTRY, for regulating, sealing and dosing granulates, powders, pellets, etc.
CERAMIC INDUSTRY, as a shut-off valve for solids, sludge, etc.
ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY, for sealing waste water, dust, sludge, etc.
WATER TREATMENT/SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS, as a shut-off valve and/or control valve for limewash, suspensions, etc.
PLANT ENGINEERING/POWDER COATING
PLANTS, for isolating and dosing powders, paints, etc.
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY/CEMENT INDUSTRY, as a shut-off valve for cement, concrete, sand, gravel, plaster, mortar, etc.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, for sealing off the discharge line for bulk materials of all types
SILOS, as a silo component for overfill protection, closing the intake line, distribution, discharge, etc.
MINING INDUSTRY, for isolating and regulating during the extraction of minerals, ores, coal, etc.
RAILWAYS, TRAINS, as a shut-off valve for faeces and grey water for vacuum toilet systems, etc.
