Product Description
Pinch valve model 206M is designed for flow isolation and control in applications involving abrasive slurries, sludge, powders and other media containing solids. Its open-body construction provides direct access to the replaceable elastomer sleeve and operating mechanism.
The sleeve forms the flow passage and is compressed from both sides to regulate or stop the flow. The open design facilitates visual inspection and maintenance, while sleeve material, reinforcement and actuation are selected for the process conditions.
Available configurations
- Sizes: DN 50–1200;
- Pressure ratings: PN 10, PN 16, PN 25 and PN 40;
- Body design: open, dismantlable construction;
- Flow passage: full bore in the fully open position;
- Function: on/off isolation or modulating control, depending on the selected configuration;
- Operation: manual, pneumatic or electric.
Availability of each size, pressure rating, sleeve material and actuator combination depends on the selected execution. Flange drilling and connection dimensions are specified for the installation.
Design features and benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Open-body construction | Provides access to the sleeve exterior and operating mechanism for visual inspection and maintenance. |
| Replaceable elastomer sleeve | Allows the worn flow-contact component to be replaced while retaining serviceable body and operating components. |
| Dual-sided sleeve compression | Opposing pinch elements compress the sleeve to reduce the flow area or close the passage. |
| Full-bore flow passage | Provides an unobstructed passage when fully open, without a gate, disc or ball in the flow path. |
| Reinforced sleeve construction | Combines a medium-contact layer with reinforcement selected for the pressure and repeated flexing duty. |
| Sleeve opening tabs | Assist the sleeve in returning to its open shape as the operating mechanism retracts. |
Typical applications
- Mining and mineral processing: ore slurries, mineral suspensions, sand handling, flotation and dewatering circuits;
- Water and wastewater treatment: sludge, grit-laden water, raw sewage and lime suspensions;
- Chemical processing: compatible chemical solutions, abrasive suspensions and process waste;
- Pulp and paper: fibre suspensions, process sludge and other solids-containing streams;
- Powder and bulk material handling: flow isolation of compatible powders and granular media.
Sleeve material selection
The elastomer sleeve is selected for abrasion resistance, chemical compatibility and operating temperature. Its compound and reinforcement must also suit the working pressure and operating cycle.
| Sleeve material | Reference temperature range | Typical applications and media |
|---|---|---|
| NR Natural rubber | −40°C to +80°C | Abrasive water-based slurries, mineral suspensions, sand-laden water and coal slurry. |
| NR + Linatex | −40°C to +85°C | Severe abrasive duties with the specified natural rubber lining, including sand, coal and mineral slurry handling. |
| NBR Nitrile rubber | −40°C to +120°C | Oily water, mineral oils and compatible petroleum products, including selected fuels. |
| EPDM | −50°C to +130°C | Water-based media, salt solutions and compatible dilute acids and alkalis. |
| SBR Styrene-butadiene rubber | −40°C to +100°C | Abrasive water-based media, contaminated water and selected mineral suspensions. |
| CSM Chlorosulfonated polyethylene | −40°C to +130°C | Selected chemical solutions and contaminated process media requiring a compatible chemical-resistant compound. |
| IIR Butyl rubber | −50°C to +130°C | Selected chemical duties, compatible polar solvents and applications requiring low gas permeability. |
| FKM Fluoroelastomer | −20°C to +150°C | Compatible hydrocarbons and chemical media requiring elevated-temperature resistance. |
Temperature ranges are selection references for the listed compounds, not simultaneous pressure-temperature ratings. Final suitability depends on the supplied sleeve formulation, reinforcement, medium composition and concentration, pressure and duty cycle.
Body material options
| Material | Designation | EN reference |
|---|---|---|
| Ductile iron | GGG40 | EN-GJS-400-15 |
| Cast stainless steel | ASTM A351 CF8 | 1.4308 |
| Cast stainless steel | ASTM A351 CF8M | 1.4408 |
| Aluminium alloy | Grade selected for the configuration | According to specification |
Body material is selected for mechanical requirements and the installation environment. Chemical compatibility with the process medium is primarily determined by the sleeve. EN references do not establish automatic interchangeability with ASTM grades.
Actuation and flow control
- Manual operation: handwheel or gearbox, depending on valve size and operating force;
- Pneumatic operation: actuator selected for the required closing force and operating conditions;
- Electric operation: actuator selected for on/off or modulating duty.
For modulating applications, sleeve geometry and actuator control are selected using the required flow range and pressure drop. Position feedback and control accessories are specified to match the automation requirements.
Inspection and maintenance
The open construction allows the sleeve exterior and operating mechanism to be inspected visually. Access for sleeve replacement is provided by the dismantlable body. Maintenance intervals depend on abrasion, chemical exposure, pressure, temperature and operating frequency.
For a replacement sleeve, provide the valve model and serial number, size, pressure rating, existing sleeve material and operating conditions. A sleeve drawing or photographs help identify the correct dimensions and mounting features.
Choosing the body design
Model 206M is suited to installations where access for inspection and maintenance is a priority. Where secondary containment is required in the event of sleeve damage, consider the sealed-body model 205M.
Information for valve selection
Please specify the valve size, flange standard and drilling, process medium, solids content and particle size, operating pressure and temperature, installation environment and required actuation. For flow control, also provide minimum, normal and maximum flow rates together with upstream and downstream pressures.
