Welcome to Thesun Industry, where innovation and quality combine in the field of silicone valves!  We’re glad you’re here and can’t wait to introduce you to our range of high quality silicone valves.  At Thesun Industry, we pride ourselves on providing best-in-class products that meet the needs of various industries.  But hey, we’re not all about business – we also like to add a little humor to our interactions.  After all, who says industry talk has to be serious and no fun? So, buckle up and get ready to enter the world of silicone valves with wit and charm!And let’s explore the 8 different types of silicone valves in public mold.

Types of silicone valves:

Duckbill Valves
Let’s start with a classic – the duckbill valve. This type of silicone valve is aptly named for its unique shape that resembles, you guessed it, a duck’s bill. These valves are designed to allow fluid to flow in only one direction, preventing backflow and ensuring smooth and efficient operation in various applications.

Umbrella Valves
Next up, we have umbrella valves. These valves feature a flexible silicone diaphragm that opens and closes in response to changes in pressure, making them ideal for applications where precise control of fluid flow is essential. From medical devices to automotive components, umbrella valves play a crucial role in ensuring optimal performance.

Flapper Valves
Moving on to flapper valves, these silicone wonders are designed to control the flow of fluids by using a flexible flap that opens and closes in response to pressure differentials. Their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, including household appliances, industrial equipment, and medical devices.

Diaphragm Valves
Diaphragm valves are another essential type of silicone valve that offers precise control over fluid flow. With a flexible diaphragm that responds to changes in pressure, these valves are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and water treatment, where hygiene and accuracy are paramount.

Check Valves
Check valves, also known as one-way valves, are designed to allow fluid to flow in one direction while preventing backflow. These silicone valves come in various configurations, including ball check valves, swing check valves, and piston check valves, making them suitable for a wide range of applications across different industries.

Pinch Valves
Pinch valves utilize a flexible elastomer sleeve to control the flow of fluids by pinching or releasing the sleeve to open or close the valve. This innovative design makes pinch valves ideal for handling abrasive or corrosive fluids, making them a popular choice in industries such as mining, wastewater treatment, and chemical processing.

Piston Valves
Piston valves are precision-engineered silicone valves that use a piston to regulate the flow of fluids. With their robust construction and reliable performance, these valves are commonly used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, including steam systems, hydraulic systems, and industrial machinery.

Spool Valves
Last but not least, we have spool valves, which are widely used in pneumatic and hydraulic systems to control the flow of fluids by moving a cylindrical spool within a housing. These valves offer precise control over fluid flow and are essential components in a wide range of industrial and automotive applications.

Different Sizes of Silicone Valve:
