What is a Solenoid Operated Pinch Valve? A Pinch Valve is a solenoid operated valve allowing a full bore flow passage through a flexible tube which is "pinched" off to produce a tight seal. Only the easily replaceable tubing comes into contact with the fluid making this style of valve ideal for applications requiring frequent changes of the flow path. Tubing Bio-Chem Valve solenoid operated pinch valves, as standard, are supplied with either Silicone Select„¢ or Bio-Chem (C-Flex) tubing. (Other, customer supplied tubing may be used - refer to Customization page for more details). Silicone Select„¢ is a platinum cured silicone tubing complying with USP XXII, Class VI, FDA and USDA standards and is FDA master file listed and is rated for a minimum of 500,000 cycles. Bio-Chem (C-Flex) complies with the same standards and is rated to 350,000 cycles and, although it has a shorter life expectancy, it is preferred in applications where gas permeability is an issue. The C-Flex also has higher chemical resistance to certain fluids. (Download material data sheets for Silicone Select„¢ and Bio-Chem (C-Flex) tubing.)
Reliable Our valves use continuous duty solenoids rated to over 20 million cycles. They feature low power consumption and fast response time.
