Flow control specialist Bürkert has released a new pinch valve for use in single-use biopharma applications. The new Type 2707 Pinch Valve ensures process safety and reliability with a stainless steel locking and pinch mechanism that optimises flow while protecting the tube insertion. The versatile valve, available in modulating control and on/off versions, is compatible with a range of tube diameters, and is fast and simple to fit.
Bürkert’s new Type 2707 Pinch Valve is externally controlled and includes a choice of pneumatic actuator and an interchangeable tube holder. With the Element actuator for modulating control, the valve is suitable for applications such as flow control for tangential flow filtration, as well as pressure control for chromatography. The valve is also intended for purposes including single-use bioreactors as well as filling and dosing skids.
