The enclosed body pinch valve design appears similar to the open body pinch valve. In addition, the most flow through and closure mechanism is similar to the open body pinch valve. The difference in the enclosed body pinch valve is the liner with the protective case and the enclosed body for compressor. The core benefit of the enclosed design is, you can use outer side fluid or pressure to keep liner open or closed. In Enclosed body pinch valve conventional wheel and screw pinching device is equipped into the system which facilitates to control the any media flow.
The Enclosed body pinch valve is best executed with hydraulic or pneumatic pressure of the fluid or gas within the metallic body which facilitates in forcing the sleeve walls together to perform an open and close operation.
Operation of enclosed body pinch valve
The desired operation can be achieved by turning the hand wheel clockwise to close the valve, whereas to opening of the gate valve can be achieved by turning the hand wheel in the counter clockwise direction.
