Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure control system that regulates either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. Pinch valve is control and shutoff valve, used for slurry application where abrasive or corrosive, powders or granular substances are present. The Objective is to design and manufacture a contactless dispensing valve to avoid curing and rapid hardening of the adhesive/high viscosity fluids, using pinching effect between the flowing fluid and the tube in contact. Validation of this design is done through analysis. The methodology to achieve this objective will be first to define the problem definition. After defining the problem, the literature survey is done on various methods that are already in market and a detail study on the solution or the way to achieve the solution. Design of the valve is done based on the pinching effect. Model is prepared in SolidWorks software and analysis is done in Ansys software. Testing of the valve is the most crucial part for the valve to sustain the design and the parameters. The expected outcome from this paper is to design and manufacture a valve for high viscosity fluid to flow with high pressure and without any curing, metal life will be increased because there is no contact between metal and the fluid. Due to the pinching effect used, the wastage of fluid will be avoided
