WHAT IS ROTARY AIRLOCK VALVE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Image
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, baking, ce

A FEW QUICK TIPS TO HELP YOU FIND THE BEST VERTICAL SCREW CONVEYOR COMPANY

Vertical screw conveyors  are efficient method for elevating a variety of bulk materials from sharp inclines to completely vertical. The specific design of this conveyor allows fitting almost any plant layout. The vertical screw conveyor is a cost-effective and dependable component of any bulk material handling process, with minimum number of moving parts. This Conveyor consists without flexible traction components that push the particles through the rotary shaft with screw blade. In the traditional screw conveying mechanism, the centrifugal force produced by the rotating screw acts on the medium particles. The simplicity of the screw conveyor design allows it to be used in many applications. Besides transporting flakes, powder, grains, and granules, screw conveyors often find uses as agitators and blenders. It also allows the vertical auger to remain operating at a constant speed, increasing efficiency and decreasing power consumption over time. The most common applications of thi

THE DESIGNS AND FEATURES OF SLIDE GATE VALVES

Image
Slide Gate valves  are used to provide for controlling the free flowing of dry bulk materials, this slide valve also known as Knife gate valves. These valves are installed at the outlet of dry bulk storage bins, silos, mechanical conveyors or similar gravity discharge points. The rectangular Knife is a thick sheet of metal that moves horizontally in the valve body. It can be kept open at intended level. Slide gate valves are designed to shut off the flow of product or for flow adjustments from outlets of dry bulk storage bins, silos, conveyors and other discharge points. When the blade is in open position, bulk material in powdered, flake or granular form falls freely through the slide gate valve. When the blade is closed, it shut-off valve and prevents the product flow with the aid of proper sealing. In additional, sliding blade can be adjusted in any position to maintain the product flow.
