Furthermore the fluid conveyed is only in contact with an elastic rubber sleeve and no metal part. The only wear part, the sleeve, is cheap and easy to replace; these features extend the life of the valve considerably.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”2- HOW DO I FIND THE IDEAL PINCH VALVE FOR THE RIGHT APPLICATION?” style=”rounded_outline” size=”sm” el_id=”1459245327480-50a4785b-50f4″ css=”.vc_custom_1459254275177{margin-bottom: 5px !important;padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 35px !important;background-color: #eeeeee !important;}”]Each pinch valve has advantages and limitations to be taken into account.

As a general guide line we can say that natural rubber con be used for all bulk materials, sludge, powders and suspensions with operating temperatures <\u00a080 \u00b0C with no chemical additives and\/or no chemical resistance requirements. With regards to other fluids with special requirements, such as chemical resistance, compatibility with food and\/or higher operating temperatures, our sales team will give you advice to suit your needs.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”5- WHAT ARE THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE LEVELS FOR EVERY PINCH VALVE?” style=”rounded_outline” size=”sm” el_id=”1459245458822-7675c222-27ca” css=”.vc_custom_1459254381062{margin-bottom: 5px !important;padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 35px !important;background-color: #eeeeee !important;}”]Pinch valves can withstand, depending on their nominal diameter, to a maximum operating pressure of up to 14 bar.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”6- WHAT TYPES OF MATERIAL CAN BE CHOSEN FOR THE PINCH VALVES?” style=”rounded_outline” size=”sm” el_id=”1459245536004-6303109c-94ff” css=”.vc_custom_1459254395005{margin-bottom: 5px !important;padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 35px !important;background-color: #eeeeee !important;}”]For pinch valves \u2013both manual and automated- you can choose between natural rubber, Natural rubber food safe (FDA approved),Neoprene, Hypalon, Nitrile, Nitrile rubber food safe (FDA approved) , Butyl, Butyl rubber food safe (FDA approved) and EPDM.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”7- ARE FOOD SAFE RUBBER PINCH VALVES ALSO CERTIFIED?” style=”rounded_outline” size=”sm” el_id=”1459245609899-426c2d59-a6cb” css=”.vc_custom_1459254410148{margin-bottom: 5px !important;padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 35px !important;background-color: #eeeeee !important;}”]Yes, there are several types of food safe rubber sleeves.
