New AKO Pinch Valve Modular System

United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Jul 21, 2011 -- Industry Benefits with New AKO Compact System

Following its program of continuous and innovative product development, AKO the leading Manufacturer of Pinch Valves AKO has designed a new and original system for air operated pinch valves of the VMC series. It is constructed in four parts which include the valve housing, a pinch valve elastomer sleeve and two connection covers. Users of the AKO Pinch Valves Series VMC are given several end connection options and a choice of 12 types of the elastomer sleeve. This constitutes an extremely wide, varied and versatile range of applications.

AKO Pinch Valves are generally recognized as having user additional advantages in comparison to other valve types, including an entirely free flow of the processing product. The nature of the valve operation eliminates the usual constrictions and “dead areas” associated with other valve varieties. Besides this, a processed product is controllable with an absolutely tight seal and a smooth product flow is maintained without clogging, even the processing of solid materials.

The AKO Pinch Valves Series VMC provides the highly improved facility of even less down-time for users, by a reduction in the break for any necessary replacement of the elastomer sleeve. This is in direct comparison with other valve types, where extensive delays can be encountered with maintenance related to membranes and seat seals. The new ground-breaking AKO Pinch Valve Modular System incorporates an extremely cost effective valve shut-off answer and because of its simplicity in operation, there is not a need for costly actuators.

A further pioneering concept has been introduced into the construction of the AKO Pinch Valves Series VMC with an elliptical shaped housing. This feature provides a reduction in the consumption of air volume of up to 40%, in comparison to the usual circular design. By this advanced conception, the consumption of energy has been considerably reduced. Adding to this advantage created by the housing design, is the opening time of this AKO Pinch Valves system is reduced by an impressive margin of about 50%. This action has a positive affect on the wearing of the elastomer sleeve, particularly relative to abrasive and corrosive products.

AKO Armaturen has become the leading manufacturer of pneumatic pinch valves, due to innovation in development and design. The new compact and modular AKO Pinch Valves Series VMC is an example of how they use over 26 years of initiative and experience in their industry.
