Electric-Operated Pinch Valve

Electric-Operated Pinch Valve

Pinch valves are ideal valves for fluids containing solid particles or contaminants to isolate and regulate pipelines. Because the sleeve is the only part in touch with the medium, it is extremely resistant to wear and corrosion. Even if complicated chemical processes are occurring in the pipeline, the pinch valve is still easy to handle them. Its applications include power plants, sewage treatment plants, mining, and chemical process control.

What are the Primary Factors Influencing Pinch Valve Quality?

Pinch valve is consist of four components: valve body, sleeve, opening and closing mechanism, and driving device.

The sleeve is the key to the quality of the pinch valve, and the major variables influencing its quality are raw materials, rubber synthesis formula, processing technology, sleeve thickness, and wear-resistant anti-corrosion layer uniformity.

The following are the 5 reasons for pinch valve quality issues.

  1. Insufficient natural raw rubber content and excessive regenerated rubber, which cause rubber loss, significant wear & tear, and short service life.
  2. Incorrect rubber composition causes poor wear resistance, and acid & alkali resistance.
  3. The sleeve manufacturing method impacts the quality of the valve; the molded rubber sleeve wear layer is prone to uneven thickness, resulting in thin areas that are easily broken. To provide a wear-resistant layer, a pure handmade rubber sleeve is used, and the thickness of the sandwich layer is consistent. The useful life has significantly enhanced.
  4. Rust on the valve body, and damage to the opening and closing mechanisms, cause the valve to shut too tightly or not completely close, resulting in unsatisfactory valve usage.
  5. Power sources such as pneumatic and electric actuators. THINKTANK is an independent research and development manufacturer of pneumatic actuators to satisfy the torque of pinch valves with a CE certificate.
