Air Operated Pinch Valves

Air operated pinch valve individually for your requirements

Air operated pinch valves

Air operated pinch valves are pressurized directly with compressed air, neutral gases or with the help of a fluid – no need for an external pneumatically driven control mechanism. The pressurized air forces the inner sleeve to close and thus safely and tightly shuts off any pipeline. Even problematic materials to be conveyed can be controlled and sealed just as reliably as unproblematic media.

The air operated pinch valves offered by AKO Armaturen are available in nominal widths from DN 10 to DN 300. The availability of all common connection options as well as a wide range of elastomeric sleeve qualities make the air operated pinch valve a valve solution that perfectly matched to your requirements.

The durable, traceable and replaceable components not only reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) over the valve's lifetime, but also make your air operated pinch valve a sustainable and modular valve solution.
