The explosion isolation pinch valve (EIPV) is pneumatically operated, providing an economical and reliable method for preventing deflagration propagation through interconnecting pipes or conveying lines, which protects downstream process equipment and operations. When an explosion event is detected, a heavy-duty food-grade elastomeric sleeve closes at high speed, using only standard plant air, blocking explosion pressures up to 3 bar. Is it activated by a solenoid-output version of the company’s EPACO control module. The EIPV can be mounted in a vertical or horizontal position, can be reset by the user, and is virtually maintenance free.
