The Clippard NPV Series Electronic Pinch Valves are solenoid-operated devices that are designed to open and close tubes for controlling flow of liquids and gases.
Clippard Electronic Pinch Air Valves
The advantages of electronic pinch air valves
Other air valve types have internal passages that can cause small amounts of fluid to remain in the valve. Pinch valves have no areas or dead volume where fluid can become trapped. Only the inside of the tubing contacts the fluid. Energising the solenoid retracts or attracts the plunger, which opens or closes the tube. De-energising the solenoid will allow the plunger to return to its original state.
Common industries that use pinch valves for the benefits of isolating media from a mechanical valve include:
- Drug dispensing
- Laboratory equipment
- Waste water
- Medical devices
- Chemical
- Food and beverage equipment
- Ceramic/glass/plastic
- Solids handling
Features
