WHAT IS ROTARY AIRLOCK VALVE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
A Rotary airlock valve is a device which widely used in material handling industrial process. It is used to convey material continuously, and maintain a constant air pressure in between inlet and outlet ports which the help of blade rotor while sealing in air leaks. These valves are a critical component in many material handling systems. The rotary airlocks are not only control the feed rate also minimize the air leakage between equipment from dust collectors to pneumatic conveying systems. In dust collection systems the rotary airlock allows continuous product discharge without having vacuum to dump the accumulated material. Rotary Air-lock Valves are mainly used at the bottom cyclone, Dust Collectors or Feed Hoppers to discharge materials at a controlled rate. The Rotary Air-locks provide dependent service in high pressure and temperature or other severe service conditions. These airlock valves can be used in various industries like food, plastics, chemical, mining, b...
