RF Valves - Manual Pinch Valve
Our patented elastomer tube folds extend the life of your pinch valves for optimal durability and performance. RF Valves, Inc. offers high-performance manual pinch valves with a patented elastomer tube design. These valves are known for their durability and effectiveness in handling diverse fluid types, including water, sewage, and slurry. They are particularly valued in industries such as municipal water management, mining, chemical processing, power generation, pulp & paper, food processing, and desalination. The unique elastomer tube folds increase the lifespan of the valves, making them an efficient choice for high-pressure and abrasive environments.
The valves are available in a range of sizes and configurations, with specifications detailing maximum working pressure, temperature tolerance, face-to-face dimensions, and flange drilling patterns. The design allows for in-line tube changes and features a wear sensor for maintenance efficiency. The valves` body and tube materials are selected for specific application needs, with options for manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuation.
