    What is the WCB Electric Pinch Valve?
    The WCB Electric Pinch Valve is an electrically operated valve designed to control the flow of fluids by pinching a flexible rubber tube. Unlike traditional mechanical valves, which rely on complex moving parts, the pinch valve uses the mechanical action of compressing a flexible sleeve to regulate fluid flow. This design makes it ideal for handling fluids that may contain solid particles, highly viscous materials, or corrosive substances.
    The valve is equipped with an electric actuator, allowing remote or automated control of the valve’s opening and closing, which makes it suitable for integration into automated systems where precise control of fluid flow is necessary. The pinch valve is particularly favored for applications where the fluid contains abrasive or solid components, as the flexible liner or sleeve can be easily replaced, ensuring minimal downtime.
