Red Valve Series 2600 Miniflex Pinch Valve

Overview:

Red Valve Control Pinch Valves offer maximum durability with precise control and virtually no maintenance. A heavy-duty, rugged pinch mechanism positions the sleeve, resulting in accurate flow control. Our Control Pinch Valves have no packing to maintain or seats to wear, no fugitive emissions and no need for expensive body alloys. Variable orifice and cone sleeves can be specified to further enhance control performance and match the exact CV level desired. True feedback positioning is accomplished through the direct linkage of the pneumatic positioner to the valve stem shaft, with no splitting of the positioner output. Red Valve Control Products are available with pneumatic, electropneumatic, or digital positioners to link up to all control systems.

Description:

Manufactured on the same design principles as Red Valve’s Type A Valve, Series 2600 Miniflex Valves are the simplest and least expensive control valves available to industry today. The Series 2600 is designed with threaded end connections, enabling use on small lines (1/8”-2”).

Miniflex Valves are pneumatically actuated, using the valve body as a built-in actuator. Air pressure opens and closes the rubber sleeve, eliminating costly actuators or electric motors and the accompanying maintenance costs. Only 25 psi over line pressure is required for closure. Threaded end connections enable easy installation and removal.

The Miniflex Valve has only four parts and requires little or no maintenance. The valve cycles rapidly – making it ideal for sampling, filling, and controlling. The elastomer sleeve is molded and does not have fabric reinforcement, making it easier to open and close. The 2600 is also an excellent choice for chemical feeding, dry powder, bagging and plastic molding applications with controlling acids, slurries, reagents or catalysts.
