The line from Bio-Chem Fluidics, which includes the 075 and 100 series, features a re-engineered body with smooth contours that allow easier insertion and removal of tubing without snares. The pinch valves allow a large bore flow passage through a flexible tube, which is pinched off to produce a tight seal. Only the easily replaceable tubing comes into contact with the fluid, making the valves ideal for applications requiring frequent changes of the flow path.
The new design is constructed from chemically resistant materials to protect against corrosion caused by cleaning solutions. The pinch valves are available in both normally closed and normally open configurations.
