Aerre Inox has introduced its new Pinch Valve, engineered for contamination-free flow control across pharmaceutical, food & beverage, dairy, cosmetics, and fine-chemical applications. As plant operators increasingly shift toward single-use technologies and flexible tubing systems, the demand for dependable, hygienic flow control has never been higher. This new valve delivers the reliability, cleanability, and operator-friendly design required in today’s process environments.

Engineered for Consistent, Clean Performance

At the heart of the new design is a centrally positioned pinch mechanism, seated within a dedicated valve housing. This ensures a secure seal and stable, repeatable flow regulation—even after numerous open/close cycles—while keeping the product fully isolated within the tubing.

Aerre Inox’s demonstration video clearly shows the simplicity of the operating principle and the ease of tube loading, making the system intuitive even for high-turnover environments:

Manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel, the valve body meets the hygiene expectations of cleanrooms and sanitary processing, while also offering durability and corrosion resistance for long-term plant reliability.

Flexible Integration Into Modern Process Lines

A key advantage of the Aerre Inox pinch valve is its compatibility with both standard and braided tubing in a wide range of sizes—from 6.4 mm (¼”) up to 25.4 mm (1″)—covering typical flows in pharmaceutical, dairy, beverage, and specialty chemical applications. Tubing installation is fast, requires no special tools, and supports frequent batch changeovers or multi-product operations. This makes the valve particularly well-suited for single-use systems, disposable skids, transfer lines, sampling setups, and hygienic low-pressure applications.

Modular Actuation for Any Layout or Level of Automation

Aerre Inox offers the valve with interchangeable actuators to suit different system designs:

• Manual actuator for simple, operator-controlled processes

• Compact pneumatic unit that fits neatly into tight skid layouts

• Panel-mount pneumatic option for OEMs or enclosure-based automation

Optional brackets can be added to streamline installation, while a limit switch box is available for position monitoring in automated setups. These options give system designers a high degree of flexibility when integrating the valve into new builds or retrofits.
