An electric pinch valve is a specialized valve that uses a flexible sleeve to control the flow of media through a pipe. The principle behind its operation involves pinching the sleeve, which reduces or stops the flow. Unlike traditional valves that use mechanical parts like discs or balls, the pinch valve uses the pressure applied by the actuator to compress the sleeve, thereby controlling the flow rate. Electric pinch valves are equipped with electric actuators, which allow for automated and precise control of the valve.

    These valves are typically used in applications where the media being transported is abrasive, viscous, or prone to contamination. They offer a robust solution for industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food production, water treatment, and mining, among others.
