The Jindex Pinch Valve range has been designed to solve process problems associated with abrasive or corrosive fluid handling in areas such as mineral processing, pulp and paper, power generation, food, chemical handling, effluent treatment, water and wastewater.
The Jindex Pinch Valve consists of a tough but flexible cylindrical sleeve which forms part of the pipeline. The valve is closed mechanically via movement of the pinch bars located on opposite sides of the sleeve.
The Jindex Pinch Valve is designed to benefit the end user by improving
system control and lowering maintenance costs.
Simple designs are often the best. Most other valve types use multiple
components such as glands, packing, seats, seat retainers, inner
linings and outer casing, wear surface, and control components such
as discs, shafts, plugs, gates etc.
The heart of the Jindex Pinch Valve design is the sleeve, which
performs all of these functions in a superior way, and usually at
a lower cost.
