-Innovative Simple Effective Economic Operation
The new AKO Pinch Valves Series VMC system is able to process virtually any material, fluid or liquid with a high degree of efficiency and cost effectiveness. This extremely high standard of performance also applies to applications involving slurries and suspended solids. To fully meet the different and extremely varied needs of users, there 12 varying types of elastomer sleeves available, for almost any processing operation.

This new and innovative variety of valve has been designed and constructed to conform to all the required standards of the European Directives specifications – PED 97/23/EC. The AKO Pinch Valves Series VMC system provides exceptional performances in general and specialized operations including verified conductive atmospheres, found in hazardous EX Zones 1, 21 and 1, 22.
In comparison to other valve varieties, for example Diaphragm, Butterfly or Ball Valves, this Pinch Valve system has an advantage in various processing operations. This is provided by an economical position monitoring and failure control pressure switch, facilitating an easy monitoring and effective location method of a failed elastomer sleeve, by the use of programmable logic control.
The AKO Pinch Valves Series VMC monitoring system allows an operator to prevent expensive wastage of entire batch productions. These would normally occur by a delay in the detection of a defective Diaphragm Valve seal, cause by a processing product flow transgressing behind a broken seal.
The new user-friendly innovative features of the air operated AKO Pinch Valve Series VMC are supported with an appealing economical pricing schedule. This combination will benefit all users and make possible, usage for many more new applications in various industries and sectors. This will predominantly apply in the automation of systems for the food, beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
The greatly recognized advantages of AKO Pinch Valves such as a completely free flow of the working medium will be enhanced by this new and original compact and modular system. The usual product flow constrictions and “dead areas” as experienced with membrane and butterfly valves are prevented.
