Pneumatic Pinch Valves


Model 934 Pneumatic Pinch Valves

The Model 934 is a dual acting, pneumatically-actuated pinch valve, available for either normally-opened (N/O) or normally-closed (N/C) operation. It is designed to work with flexible tubing, where easy replacement of the entire fluid path is required. These valves are robustly designed making them suitable for pressure or vacuum services.

Standard Features

  • Snap-In Tube Loading for quick change of disposable tube sets.

  • Splash Seals guard against spills and debris, prevent contaminants from entering the valve, and allow for cleaning without disassembly (currently only available in panel mount designs).

  • Panel or Base Mounting allows for mounting in any position and provides for flexibility in meeting your system design requirements.

  • Valves calibrated for each application to optimize performance.

  • Strong pinching forces capable of handling a variety of flexible tubing materials.

  • Simple, reliable design with a million+ cycle life span.

  • No Wetted Parts and Zero Dead Volume.

  • Smooth and quiet actuation with no heat generation in the actuated state.

*When the valve is in a de-energized state: N/O tubing is not pinched; N/C tubing is pinched.
**Currently only available in panel mount designs.

Available Options

  • Position Sensing supplies electronic feedback on a valve’s position or state and confirms that a valve is in the state dictated by a control input.

  • Three-Way Control Valve required for operation of all pneumatic valves and can be purchased through Acro or customer supplied.

Acro’s pinch valves have been successfully used in applications where precise control of sterile fluids is required…

  • Blood analyzers to control test samples and fluids.

  • Kidney and peritoneal dialysis machines.

  • Surgical suction lines for body fluid recovery.

  • Arterial catheterization procedures.

  • Multi-fluid drug delivery and control systems.

  • Food and beverage dispensing equipment.

  • Metering and injection services.

  • Analyzing and sampling instrumentation.

  • Feed and anti-siphon control systems for high viscosity, powders and abrasive fluids.

  • Wafer processing and photo-resist equipment.

  • Peristaltic pump systems to handle on/off and emergency stop functions.

 
Our standard pinch valves can usually be tailored to meet the needs of most applications. Nearly all aspects of their designs may be altered.
