Pinch valve – repair, maintenance & spare parts

Pinch valves are very maintenance-friendly valve types, resistant to abrasion and corrosion. With non-problematic media, maintenance of the pinch valve or even the exchange of a component is therefore necessary only after a very long period of use (usually after several years).
In the process, whether air operated pinch valves or mechanical pinch valves are used is completely irrelevant.

Due to the abovementioned robust properties, pinch valves are being used more and more for very problematic, wear-intensive and hard-to-regulate pumped media (such as bulk materials, abrasive suspensions or liquids contaminated with particles). This continuous load with pumped media that causes wear can reduce the service life of the rubber sleeve in contact with this media in the pinch valve.

If individual components on a pinch valve need to be replaced and you require spare parts (e.g. a replacement sleeve) for your pinch valve, you have the following possibilities for replacing the relevant component with a spare part:
You can carry out your own maintenance and repair at your company or have our pinch valve specialist repair your component at our company location.

In addition to the 10,000 pinch valve variants available from AKO, AKO also maintains and repairs the pinch valves of other manufacturers.

AKO pinch valve repair and maintenance service

Repair and maintenance performed on site by the customer

Pinch valves from AKO Armaturen are designed in such a way that they can be maintained and repaired in an uncomplicated manner without a lot of time and material expense.
An AKO pinch valve consists solely of three main components (the housing, the sleeve and the flange and/or sleeve end cover required for clamping the sleeve and connecting it to the pipeline).
Repair or servicing can therefore be performed by the customer itself on site using its own personnel.
No special tools are required. Many pinch valve variants can be removed from the pipeline, maintained and then reintegrated into the pipe system within just a few minutes. Long downtimes of the affected system can therefore generally be ruled out.

Each pinch valve component can be ordered from AKO as a spare part. A complete exchange of the entire valve when only one component is defective is therefore not necessary.

Maintenance and repair of third-party products

Due to decades of experience and specialisation in the area of pinch valves, AKO Armaturen is able to maintain and repair third-party pinch valves.
In the process, the fitters proceed with the same care and routine as they do with AKO's own pinch valves.
Limitation: In the case of third-party products, only the rubber sleeve and possible the screws can be exchanged.

Your advantages:

  • The same procedure and consistent quality standard as for AKO valves.
  • In case of irreparable damage, we offer you a comparable, more high-quality AKO pinch valve upon request.
  • If the repair costs exceed the cost of a new AKO punch valve, we will suggest the purchase a replacement valve as an option.
  • If desired, we will dispose of the old valve or return it to you together with your new AKO pinch valve.

You can send a non-binding inquiry to AKO.
