Pinch Valves in india ,
In industries where handling abrasive, corrosive, or fibrous materials is a challenge, pinch valves emerge as the ideal solution. Designed to provide leak-proof shutoff and unrestricted flow, pinch valves are gaining popularity in sectors like food processing, wastewater treatment, cement, mining, and pharmaceuticals. In this blog, we explore the features, benefits, applications, and unique offerings from V-Tork Controls, a leading pinch valve manufacturer in India.
What is a Pinch Valve?
A pinch valve is a type of control valve that uses a pinching mechanism to shut off or regulate the flow of materials. It consists of three main components:
-
Valve body
-
Sleeve or rubber tubing
-
Actuator (manual, pneumatic, or electric)
The valve operates by compressing the flexible sleeve, stopping the flow entirely or controlling it precisely. Since the fluid never comes in contact with the metal body, pinch valves are excellent for handling aggressive and high-purity fluids.
