The mechanical pinch valves of the RV series are available in the nominal diameters of DN025 to DN600.
They are designed with a flange connection complying with DIN EN 1092 PN10 or PN16 as standard, or ISO 25 or ISO 40.
On request, the mechanical pinch valves of the RV series can be made with a flange connection complying with ANSI B 16.5- 150lbs, if required.
The structure of the RV series mechanical pinch valves encompasses the sleeve - the essential part of every pinch valve - and a body. The pinch valve sleeve can optionally be connected directly to the closing mechanism with so-called opening tabs and therefore forceably opened. Depending on the application, opening tabs may not be necessary, if adequate operating or media pressure is available to additionally push open the sleeve, as soon as the pinch valve is opened by the mechanism. Only the sleeve is in the product flow (contact with the operating medium) of the RV series mechanical pinch valve.
A selection of 10 different elastomer grades for the sleeve (natural rubber, EPDM, EPDM food quality, nitrile, nitrile food quality, butyl, neoprene, Hypalon, viton and silicone), ensures that the RV series mechanical pinch valves have a very wide and practically unrestricted field of application.
Manual handwheel, double-acting pneumatic cylinder, single-acting, spring return pneumatic cylinder, single-acting pneumatic spring in the pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electrical actuator.
These can be supplied in grey cast iron, steel, welded steel or welded stainless steel depending on the model, nominal diameter and level of pressure involved.
1bar, 6bar, 10bar, 16bar, 25bar and 40bar.
Depending on the operating pressure, these can be supplied in DIN 3202 F5, ASME B 16 short, ASME B 16 long ISO 5752 as per table 6.
