This image shows the operating principle of a double acting pinch valve. Double acting pinch valves close from two directions. The flow control valve may be operated manually using a handwheel or automatically opened / closed using pneumatic, hydraulic or electric motor. Larox pinch valves may be fail safe open or fail safe closed

The valves can be adjusted to provide a fully regulated flow or an integrated part of repetitive process operation. Pinch valves use an integral sleeve which is compressed under closing, when fully closed the valve is 100% leak proof. 

Larox sleeves are available in a variety of materials to suit your application. For applications such as adhesives or pastes, the sleeves have opening tabs fixed to the pinching mechanism. This helps open the valve fully even when controlling sticky substances

Larox valve sleeves are a replaceable wearing part designed for specific applications. Reference projects are available for most industries
