Actuated Pinch Valves by Vertex Engineering Works, Gujarat

The specialty of these valves lies in the rubber sleeve and wetted parts. The sleeves flexibility allows the valve to close drop around entrapped solid. Actuation of the valve, the pinching action, is accomplished by pneumatic cylinder. These are available in NO & NC condition. Vertex also provides a Positionar along with the Valve. These are the most cost-effective solutions for flow control problems.

Actuated On-off Pinch Valves
The Actuated On-Off Valves are ideal when remote control is required. The type of actuator depends on the operating pressure, availability of power sources and other process requirements.

Pneumatic Actuated (A)
The standard pneumatic actuator is double acting, therefore allowing fast opening and closing. Actuator housing, tie rods and piston rods are available In various materials. Short cycle times are achieved by using quick exhaust valves. Epoxy paint can be applied to further improve corrosion resistance. The standard pneumatic actuators are simple and economical to install.

Fail Safe Options
Pneumatic actuators can be equipped with an override (AB) hand wheel for manual fail-safe and a mechanical (AV) or a pneumatic spring (AU) for automatic fail-safe function.

Electric Actuator Pinch Valve (E)
The standard double acting electric actuator incorporates built-in limit and torque switches, as well as a manual override hand wheel. Electric actuators are best suited for applications requiring high closing forces such as large valve diameters or high operating pressures.

Standard Position ERS
Vertex control valve actuator is equipped with a positioner. The standard positioners for various actuators are as follows:
