AKO has been successfully resistant designs the AKO 26 years on the market and sells various pinch valves in several series. A powerful hose cuff via the actual crushing is all valve types together. In the pneumatic version we this cuff via air or a liquid column pressed together, so that the product flow control comes to a standstill. Mechanical hose pinch valves work against it with so-called crush beams, which are above or below the line are mounted and mechanically crimp the sleeve if necessary use of lead rods. Functionally equipped pinch valves used versatile in industrial and manufacturing plants, among other things, to remove abrasive suspensions and slurries, corrosive granules, pellets and powders and fibrous solids. The simple technique has proven itself particularly in the line-driven transport of highly reactive substances as both mechanical and pneumatic pinch valves work reliably and precisely. The fact that in the normal operation only the cuff directly with the flowing medium in contact comes, makes also economic system, because the cuffs of the AKO consist of resistant elastomers, which meet depending on the device type, the most different requirements cost farrier. The pneumatic pinch valves of the AKO total boast an extraordinary material technology, incorporated into the entire know-how of the company’s own development department.

Minimal friction resistance and a free flow of product shall ensure that AKO leakage -, verstopfungs – and largely maintenance-free working valves for long periods of time. Also a specially designed housing contribution, which reduces the energy consumption. The housing of the AKO pinch valves is namely elliptical-shaped and flattened, allowing the compressed air demand lower. The outer structure of the flanged also specifies the direction, where the cuff at the closing of the pinch valve is lippenformig folds. Has the equipped crushing a wholly owned seal resulted in even larger particles cannot penetrate a barrier so secure. At, consumers and users for more information about the proven engineering of AKO, its valve solutions constantly evolve. State of the art analytical methods now supported the product optimization, which is down not only in economically working high-tech controls, but also in a convincing price / performance ratio.
