PIC Series Pinch Valves - Reliable Sealing & No Downtime

The automatic elastic deformation valve consists of a valve body and a cylindrical sleeve covered with natural or synthetic rubber. It is normally open.

The valve is closed by applying pressure between the body and the sleeve using a fluid, usually compressed air (which can be replaced by pressurized water). Under the action of this fluid, the sleeve collapses in a preferred direction, achieved by a judicious arrangement of the fabric, thus allowing complete closure.

Thanks to their characteristics, Milton Roy elastic deformation sleeve valves have the advantage of being suitable for a wide range of industries and applications: liquids, suspensions, granules, pastes, etc.

• Acids: Hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, hydrofluoric, etc.
• Bases: Soda, ammonia, potash, phosphates, sodium bicarbonate, etc.
• Viscous or abrasive liquids: Seawater, wastewater, lime milk, paper pulp, paint, sludge, soot, clay paste, etc.
• Powders: Cement, flour, sand, talc
• Food liquids: Beer, wine, cocoa butter, edible oils, beet juice, milk, sugar, syrups, etc.
• Other fluids: Water treatment reagents, organic solvents, fertilizers, etc.

They are widely used in water treatment plants, cement factories, silos, wineries, and even trains!
