Some helpful benefits to remember about pinch valves and how they differ from other valves in their exceedingly minimal frictional resistance on the mass flow of your product. Even though they are so effective at stopping flow, they will virtually never cause clogging. And with these combined benefits, they’re still one of the lightest and easiest valve types to own and maintain. Installing is a breeze and so is the small number of times you may have to replace the sleeve over the lifetime of ownership.
