KVT Pinch Valves
Pinch Valves from KVT: Made in Germany!
KVT has been manufacturing pneumatic pinch valves for more than 40 years now in best quality and with a great variety of different types. We are even able to produce customer specific valves, too. KVT pinch valves are actuated by (oilfree) pressurized air or other inert, gaseous or liquid media.
Directly operated pinch valves
KVT pinch valves are astonishing simple, safe, durable and low-priced valves with a smooth, circular, straight passage in open position. They close absolutely liquid and gas-tight. Pinch valves are
- easy to clean,
- no dead vol,
- no dirt traps and above all and
- very small head losses.
Where to use pinch valves?
KVT pinch valves are therefore the ideal valve for all flowable goods, in particular all very viscous, pasty, solid-containing, powdery, strongly contaminated as well as abrasive or aggressive materials in the piping and apparatus engineering, filter systems, tank wagon, silo installation and are also very suitable in areas with potentially explosive atmosphere.
ATEX zones
Pinch valves are also suitable as fittings for ATEX areas because pinch sleeves with a conductive inner surface can be used. Typical applications can therefore be found in the entire food industry, from viticulture to bakeries, in feed production, in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, in cement plants, in drinking water, waste water and process water areas, in washing plants, cleaning systems, filter systems, ... can be found.
