An explosion-proof electric pinch valve is a type of valve used to regulate the flow of liquids and gases in settings that could potentially be hazardous due to the presence of explosive materials. Unlike traditional valves, pinch valves utilize a flexible tube, typically made of rubber or elastomeric materials, to control the flow. When actuated by an electric motor, a mechanism compresses the flexible tube, effectively pinching it and thereby stopping or regulating fluid movement. This design is particularly advantageous in processes involving corrosive, viscous, or slurries since the pinch mechanism minimizes wear and tear that often occurs with mechanical parts.
