Pinch Valves for Ceramic Powder Applications

The Characteristics of a Pinch Valve Pinch Valves are the ideal solution for conveying and regulating a broad range of applications in many industries. Media such as liquids, sludge, dust, granules, compressed air, pellets, gaseous materials, emulsions and powders are handled with ease by the Pinch Valve. In particular, ceramic powders in bulk which are transported from silos/hoppers/bins onto trucks, and also weighed and bagged with sack filling machinery. The powders being passed through the fully open bore of a Pinch Valve can either be gravity fed, pushed along using compressed air, or sucked through using a vacuum system. Whichever conveying method is used, Pinch Valves guarantee a free flow of product because of the nominal passage of practically all diameters. The Pinch Valve is non-clogging, and in most cases wear resistant. Other advantages include it’s light weight, simple installation and lightening fast opening/closing times.
