Product Description
The Festo VZQA is a pneumatically actuated pinch valve available in normally closed or normally open configurations, designed to control media flows such as granulate, fluids containing solids, and highly viscous or abrasive media . This compact valve features a modular design with quick and easy diaphragm replacement, an easy-to-clean full bore passage with no flow resistance or dead spaces, and is suitable for applications requiring FDA-compliant materials .
Key Features & Advantages:
2/2 Normally Closed or Normally Open Operation: Available in 2/2 monostable configurations; the NC version handles media pressures up to 6 bar, while the NO version handles up to 4 bar, allowing flexible selection based on application requirements .
Modular Design with Quick Diaphragm Replacement: Simplified maintenance through easy and rapid exchange of the diaphragm (pinch tube) without special tools, extending service life and reducing operational downtime .
For Critical, Abrasive, and Viscous Media: Designed to handle challenging media including liquids with solid particles, granulate, and highly viscous substances, supporting viscosities up to 4,000 mm²/s with a full bore passage preventing blockages .
Easy-to-Clean Hygienic Design – Freely Selectable Flow Direction: The full bore passage eliminates dead spaces and flow resistance, allowing smooth media flow and simple cleaning; reversible flow enables flexible installation .
FDA-Compliant Materials & Versions with End-Position Sensing: Hygienic design with FDA-compliant materials for food and pharmaceutical applications; optional end-position sensing provides feedback for automated process control .
