The WCB Electric Pinch Valve is an advanced valve technology designed to handle demanding fluid control requirements, especially in systems involving abrasive, viscous, or solid-laden fluids. Unlike traditional valves that rely on metal seats or seals, the pinch valve operates using a flexible elastomeric tube that is pinched to regulate flow. This unique mechanism offers distinct advantages, making the WCB Electric Pinch Valve a preferred choice in many industries.
The Principle of Operation The WCB Electric Pinch Valve consists of a flexible rubber or elastomeric tube, which is mounted within a rigid housing. The valve’s primary operation is based on pinching or squeezing the flexible tube to control the flow of the fluid within the system. The electric actuator, often paired with a positioner, provides the necessary motion to squeeze the tube tightly, thereby stopping or regulating the flow. The actuator’s position is controlled electronically, offering precise and automated flow control without the need for manual intervention. Key Features and Benefits
