- Pinch Valve
Falcon Flow Control Pinch Valve
A versatile valve that uses a flexible elastomer sleeve to control flow by pinching the tube, ideal for handling abrasive, corrosive, or slurry fluids with minimal wear and maintenance.
Full Description
The Falcon Flow Control Pinch Valve is designed for industries where handling abrasive or corrosive media is critical. Unlike traditional valves, the flow is controlled by compressing a resilient rubber sleeve within the valve body, which isolates the fluid from all metal parts, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and minimal wear.
This valve is particularly suited for slurry, wastewater, mining, chemical, and food processing applications where clogging or erosion could cause frequent maintenance problems.
The valve offers quick operation, easy maintenance, and full bore flow when open, reducing pressure drop and ensuring smooth passage of fluids.
