Rotary Air Lock
A Rotary Airlock Valve is a mechanical device used to control the flow of materials while maintaining an airtight seal between two different pressure zones. It is commonly employed in bulk material handling systems to transfer solids like powders, granules, and pellets.
Applications of Rotary Airlocks
1. Dust Collection Systems: Used as a feeder for cyclones and baghouses.
Discharges collected dust while preventing air leakage.
2. Pneumatic Conveying Systems: Ensures a consistent feed of materials into high-pressure conveying lines.
3. Bulk Material Handling: Transfers granular or powdered materials like cement, grains, sugar, or chemicals between storage and processing areas.
4. Food and Pharmaceutical Industries: Maintains hygiene and precision in transferring sensitive materials.
Key Specifications
1. Capacity: Measured in cubic feet per revolution (CF/rev) or cubic meters per hour (m³/h).
2. Typical range: 0.5 to 500 CF/rev or higher, depending on the size and application.
3. Rotor Speed: 10 to 60 RPM (adjustable based on material flow requirements).Â
4.Temperature Range: Standard: -20°C to 150°C.
High-temperature models: Up to 450°C for materials like ash or cement.
