Profile: Acro Associates, Inc. is a provider of fluid control systems for the medical device and bioprocessing markets. We offer an extensive line of standard and custom solenoid & pneumatic pinch valves that can be tailored to the required specifications. We provide occlusion devices for flexible tubing paths and control boards for operation, monitoring & sensory feedback. We specialize in comprehensive engineering design services, including custom tailored design, prototyping and pilot production of fluid control systems & components. We also specialize in pilot to scale-up production contract manufacturing with quality control, inventory management and regulatory documentation. Our robustly designed solenoid pinch valves are commonly used in applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, and other scientific industries. These are designed to work with flexible tubing, where easy replacement of the entire fluid path is required. Pinching functionality is achieved by integrating an actuator and a pinching mechanism into a single unit. A spring typically supplies the force required to pinch the tubing, stopping media flow. The pinching mechanism captures the tubing and provides a fixed pinching surface. The solenoid actuator generates a linear force that overcomes the pinching spring to allow media flow through the tubing. Our robustly designed pneumatic pinch valves are ideal for industrial dispensing, bulk fluid transfer, vacuum operations or other applications requiring extended duty cycles and high pinching forces.

The company was founded in 1976, has revenues of USD 1-5 Million, has ~30 employees and is ISO 9001: 2000 certified.
