Cincinnati, Ohio – The Clippard NPV Series Miniature Pinch Valve is a solenoid-operated device that is designed to open and close tubes for controlling fl ow of liquids and gases. Other valve
types have internal passages that may cause small amounts of fl uid to remain in the valve. Pinch valves have no areas or dead volume where fl uid can become trapped. Only the inside of the
tubing contacts the fl uid. Energizing the solenoid retracts or attracts the plunger, which opens or closes the tube. De-energizing the solenoid will allow the plunger to return to its original state.
Common industries that use pinch valves for the benefi ts of isolating fl uid from a mechanical valve include: drug dispensing, laboratory equipment, waste water, medical devices, chemical,
food and beverage equipment, ceramic/glass/plastic, and bulk and solids handling.
