Pinch Valves
Pinch valves pinch or squeeze flexible, disposable tubing to control or shut off the flow of media, often high-purity liquids. Solenoid-operated pinch valves use electric current to open and close, while pneumatic pinch valves operate by using compressed air. Emerson produces a variety of pinch valves that assure the process media integrity in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, diagnostics, and food and beverage markets, as well as in single-use technology (SUT) applications.
