Everything on pinch valve
Vajra's engineering team has published 3 technical guides covering pinch valve for industrial valve selection, specification, testing and procurement. Browse the full set below.
Valves for Mining Slurry Service - Knife Gate, Pinch, Rubber-Lined Ball and Butterfly Valves
Mining operations present the most abrasive valve service conditions in industry. Ore slurry, tailings, concentrate, and mine water all contain solid particles that rapidly erode conventional valve internals. Knife gate valves, pinch valves, and rubber-lined butterfly and ball valves are the solutions specifically designed for mining slurry isolation and flow control.
Mining & Mineral Processing Valves: Slurry, Leach, and Dewatering Selection Guide
Mining and mineral processing is one of the most demanding environments for valves - abrasive slurries, corrosive leach solutions, high-viscosity tailings, and extreme pH levels destroy standard industrial valves in weeks. Selecting the right valve type is critical.
Pinch Valve Guide: Design, Selection and Applications in Slurry Service
Pinch valves use a flexible rubber or elastomeric sleeve to shut off or throttle flow - the closure mechanism never contacts the process fluid directly, making them ideal for abrasive slurries, granular solids, corrosive chemicals and fibrous media where conventional metal valves would wear rapidly. This guide covers pinch valve types, sleeve selection, pressure ratings and application best practices.
