Flowrox Pinch Valves - The Ideal Valve for Abrasives, Slurries, Powders or Granular Substances
Heavy duty pinch valves from Flowrox are intended for shut off and control applications involving abrasive or corrosive slurries, powders, or granular substances. The valve is full bore and has no flow restrictions when it is in the open position. Two pinch bars squeeze the valve sleeve shut on the centerline during closing. Even if solids have accumulated on the sleeve wall, a bubble tight shut-off is provided.
