Pinch Valves are the ideal solution for isolating and regulating abrasive, corrosive and fibrous products.
Pinch Valves are the ideal solution for isolating and regulating abrasive, corrosive and fibrous products. The pinch valve is being used more and more as an isolating valve or regulating valve for emulsions, sludges, dusts, gaseous materials, compressed air, powder, granulates, pellets etc.
There are two types of MVI pinch valves available:
Air operated pinch valves are supplied directly with compressed air/fluid
Manual and control pinch valves are actuated under force from a mechanism and actuator
Pinch Valve Basic Characteristics
Pinch valves are characterized by a free flow of product, guaranteed because of the nominal passage of practically all diameters. Minimum frictional resistance and non-clogging. Its lightweight and compact construction, meaning that they are easy to install.

Industry areas of application for pinch valves
Pinch valves can be used in a variety of applications due to the wide range of materials used for the body and flanges end covers on a pinch valve, such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, as well as a removable sleeve in different elastomer grades like NR, EPDM, IIR, FPM etc.

Some examples include:
-Pneumatic conveying technology, for isolating, dosing and regulating solids or bulk materials of all types.
-Vacuum conveying, for sealing or isolating powders, granulates, fibers, tablets, pills, etc.
-Chemical industry, for dosing or 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 or sewage treatment plants, as a shut-off valve or control valve for limewash, suspensions, etc.
-Plant engineering or powder coating.
-Construction and 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 faces and grey water for vacuum toilet systems, etc.
-Dosing and weighing systems, for additives, dyes, pastes, etc.
-Food industry, for dosing and isolating mash, barley, pulp, sauces, syrups, spices, flour, salt, sugar, nuts, fruits, vegetables, coffee beans, slaughterhouse waste, etc.
Pinch valves application
The sleeves, the critical component of all pinch valves
The particularly robust, elastic fabric-reinforced pinch valve sleeves allow for successful working, even under extreme conditions. The MVI pinch valve sleeve prove their worth, because of their long service life. For instance, if very abrasive media is being conveyed with a very high switching cycle frequency. A selection of 5 different elastomer grades and different body/flange materials ensures that they may be used practically without restriction in almost all industrial sectors.
