Asahi/America, Inc., the Wet Process People™, has introduced its series of pinch valves (PV) for CMP slurry applications. The PV Series of pinch valves offers a cycle life of over 2 million cycles without degradation of functionality such as pressure resistance and slurry coagulations. Additionally, these valves have a compound tube that is resistant to vacuum operation, and unlike other pinch valves, will not collapse when exposed to limited vacuum service. Available in sizes ¼” through 1,” in manual and pneumatic styles, with a variety of tube and thread connections. External housing is offered in PVDF.
