AKO Pinch Valve sleeves prove their worth, particularly because of their long service life as it is light weight and compact in construction. Pinch Valve is being used more and more as an isolating valve or regulating valve for emulsions, sludges, dusts, gaseous materials, compressed air, powder, granulates, pellets etc. AKO Pinch Valve are minimum frictional resistance and non-clogging.

Manual and control Pinch Valves allow free flow of the product, minimum frictional resistance and low maintenance and operating costs. Manual and control Pinch Valves also helps in the reduction of the parts in contact with the medium, the sleeve being the only component in contact with the product flow. In addition, Manual and control Pinch Valve creates deformation of the sleeve during the closing process causes any incrustations inside the sleeve to break away. This means that the manual and control Pinch Valve is a practically blockage-free valve solution. Furthermore, even larger solid particles are shut off by the sleeve, which is particularly resistant to abrasion and corrosion, hence shut off without leaks

Air operated Pinch Valve allows Free flow of product, minimum frictional resistance, 100% leak free, no blockages and low net weight. Air operated Pinch Valve is a flattened and elliptical casing design of all flanged types ensures minimum compressed air consumption. This results in energy savings and ensures a specified, lipped fold pattern to the sleeve of the air operated Pinch Valve. This specific, lipped fold pattern in the Air operated Pinch Valves ensures the complete sealing of the product flow. Even large solids are enclosed by the sleeve in the air operated Pinch Valves and are thus tightly sealed. Sleeve materials and connection options. A wide range of different rubber / sleeve-, body materials, flange- and socket end materials such as internal thread, tri-clamp, weld-on ends, RJT connection or threaded hose nozzles, are available at our AKO website.

The Knife Gate Valves are either uni- or bi directional wafer valves for general industrial application. The nominal widths available range from DN050 to DN1200 with flange connections complying with EN 1092-2 PN10 or alternatively, ANSI B16.5. Knife Gate Valve is predominantly used in the paper and pulp, chemical, and mining industries, in power station technology and the food industry. Knife Gate Valves are increasingly being used in biogas plants, sewage treatment plants, and in the sugar, steel and animal feed sectors.

The Novasina laboratory instruments are used to measure the parameter of water activity in a product, normally foodstuff, pet food, pharmaceutical ingredients, powders etc. 3 product lines are available, the LabMaster-aw with temperature stabilised measurement chamber and pre-conditioning chamber, extendable channels, user and sample database; the LabTouch-aw with touch-screen and semi-temperature stabilised measurement chamber; the LabSwift-aw for mobile use with battery power option. All instruments have the unique high precision sensor on board with stored calibration data and can also be calibrated with reusable Novasina humidity standards.
