Industries Served/Applications
The AKO direct air operated pinch valves are designed
for control and ON/OFF applications, and are especially
suited for abrasive, corrosive and fibrous materials
and slurries. Many times a standard ball, plug or gate
valve will not or can not provide satisfactory operation
and life expectancy and pinch valves will outperform
them. However, pinch valves are also not the all-inclusive
answer to all valve problems and each application deserves
it’s own analysis. Here are some applications,
in no particular order, where AKO pinch valves have
been used successfully:
