Electric pinch valves are designed to control the flow of liquids, gases, or powders in a pipe system by using a flexible tube, which is compressed by an external mechanism. The valve operates by pinching the tube, effectively cutting off or controlling the flow of the medium. Unlike traditional valves that rely on mechanical elements like ball or gate valves, electric pinch valves provide a highly reliable and cost-effective solution, especially in situations where contamination or blockages might occur.

    The "electric" aspect of these valves refers to their automated nature, where electric actuators are used to control the pinching mechanism. This level of automation allows for precise control over fluid flow, providing valuable benefits in terms of efficiency, consistency, and safety.
