Kurbo - Pinch Valve Sleeve
Kurbo Replacement Pinch Valve Sleeves are designed to provide maximum performance and operating life in pinch valves used for control of abrasive and corrosive flowing media in industrial process systems. Kurbo manufactures a comprehensive range of pinch valve sleeves for almost all brand and models of mechanical and pneumatic pinch valves.
Major components of a pinch valve consists of body and a sleeve. The most critical part of every pinch valve is the elastic sleeve, which is the only part in contact with the process medium.
The sleeve materials must be carefully selected to match the service conditions.
The standard sleeve design consists of three parts:
- The inner layer, which is the only part in contact with the medium, is resistant to wear and chemicals.
- The reinforcement layer gives the sleeve its pressure retaining capability. The operating pressure of the sleeve determines the reinforcement fabric to be used in this layer.
- The outer layer protects the sleeve from the external process environment.
