AKO Mechanical Pinch Valves - VZ Series
The VZ series mechanical pinch valve is available in the nominal diameter of DN080.
It is designed with a flange connection complying with DIN EN 1092 PN10/16 and ANSI B 16.5- 150 lbs as standard.
Structure of VZ series:
The structure of the VZ series mechanical pinch valve encompasses the sleeve -the essential part of every pinch valve- and a body. The pinch valve sleeve can be connected directly to the closing mechanism with so-called opening tabs, thereby ensuring forced opening. Only the sleeve is in the product flow (contact with the operating medium) of the VZ series mechanical pinch valve.
- VZ pinch valve, handwheel actuated
- VZ pinch valve, electrically actuated
Materials of mechanical Pinch Valve VZ series:
A selection of 3 different elastomer grades for the sleeve (natural rubber, EPDM and neoprene) ensures that the VZ series mechanical pinch valves have a very wide and practically unrestricted field of application.
Pinch Valve actuators:
Manual handwheel, electric actuator.
Body materials of mechanical Pinch Valve VZ series:
Aluminium
Maximal operating pressures Pinch Valves VZ series:
6 bar
