Description
The Series 1000 Pinch Valve features a simple, proven and cost-effective design. Virtually maintenance-free, the sleeve is the valve's only wetted part, eliminating possible contamination of the process materials. The 1000 Series Valve has no seats that require grinding, no packing glands or stuffing boxes which require repacking. Both torques and flow rates remain constant during valve operation. The valve will not become locked or jammed even when dealing with solids in the flow.
Series 1000 Pinch Valves provide excellent flow control compared to other valves, due to their simple yet effective design. Two pinch bars squeeze the flexible rubber sleeve, allowing the Series 1000 Valve to achieve a variable and stable flow rate. Fully open, the valve allows for full, straight through flow. Fully closed, the Series 1000 Valve maintains complete closure, with no leakage in either direction.
