Description
Red Roc Pinch Valves are reliable, low maintenance, cost-effective valves engineered for tough slurries, dry and wet abrasives, and corrosive chemical applications. When fully open the 100% full bore design is identical to a rubber lined pipe. This design completely encapsulates the media being transported, and eliminates the risk of the media contaminating the mechanical working parts where in most other types of valves slurry can build up and impair operation of the valve or even cause complete valve failure.
