There are animations on the working principle of valves on the forum; search and learn about it*
It depends on the specific material; a clean liquid ball valve will work just fine. If the medium contains particles or powder, a diaphragm valve would be a better choice. 412372706

Diaphragm valves are superior to ball valves, but the diaphragm wears out relatively quickly, which is something to keep in mind!
Ball valves fully meet the requirements; it is recommended to use PTFE or stainless steel ball valves.
