Rotary Airlock Valve
Reliable Airlock for Efficient Material Handling and Pneumatic Conveying
The Rotary Airlock Valve is a key component in bulk material handling systems, designed to maintain a consistent airlock between two pressure zones while allowing controlled discharge of powders, granules, or pellets. It ensures efficient material flow while preventing air leakage, making it ideal for pneumatic conveying, dust collection, and feeding systems.
Key Features
Precise Material Feeding
Controls the flow of bulk solids with minimal material degradation.
Excellent Air Sealing
Prevents air or gas leakage between different pressure zones.
Robust Construction
Heavy-duty steel or stainless steel for durability and wear resistance.
Easy Maintenance
Simple rotor and housing design for easy cleaning and inspection.
Wide Range of Sizes
Suitable for small to large capacity systems.
Sealed Bearings and Glands
To extend service life and reduce contamination.
Optional Features
Explosion-proof designs, abrasion-resistant coatings, and drive options.
