In many places, squeeze valves accomplish secure work routine and production processes in the industrial application. Thereby, in many companies, valves of the European market leader for squeeze valves are used. The AKO Armaturen & Separations GmbH near to Frankfurt a. M. (Germany) is just this market leader and has convinced its customers through the high quality of its products since 25 years now. Besides, the application of a lot of know-how and many years experience already paid off during the development of the sleeves that are essential to a reliable functionality of pinch valves.

Every squeeze valve, no matter whether mechanically or pneumatically operated, shows a sleeve made from elastomer inside. This sleeve provides a safe and reliable sealing of the most different media. Therefore, as different as the media are, as sophisticated the manufacture of the specific sleeve has to be. Further details about the production procedures of the squeeze valve sleeves can be looked up under http://www.pinch-valve.com/en/products/sleeves-for-pinch-valves.html . AKO develops and constructs all sleeves under different points of view in accordance to valid norms and guidelines, because different applications and requirements also need different materials. Thus, sleeves for the pneumatic squeeze valves require a high bouncing elasticity, so that these "jump back" independently while escaping the control air in the basic position. Besides, the right sleeve must be equally suitable for the respective flow medium. Strongly abrasive materials can be blocked off or regulated infallibly only with a very indelible sleeve. By the exact adaptation of the sleeve within its field of application, AKO reaches a high lifetime of its pinch valves. As a rule, the squeeze valves themselves are absolutely maintenance-free. The sleeves inside the pinch valves are the only wearing part and can be changed quickly due to perfectly composed assembly instructions. A change of the sleeve means a compulsory break in production or mechanical handling for the company. These downtimes are reduced to a minimum by the detailed instruction manuals, which are available for all products of AKO as pdf documents at http://www.pinch-valve.com/ . In addition, AKO guarantees a permanent quality of its sleeves in accordance to the German Institute for Standardization ISO 9001:2008. Complemented with an ideal after-sales service, AKO has achieved an increasing usage of its valves and accessories in the industry since 1984.

The family company AKO Armaturen & Separations GmbH sells its valves and sleeves worldwide and established two independent subsidiaries in England and France in order to serve the world market more efficiently. Nowadays Antoine and Frederic Kopp lead the company together that has become a highly recommended manufacturer of valves for the industry through high product quality and best after-sales service.
