ROTARY AIRLOCK VALVE ProChem’s Rotary valves are designed to enable quick dis-assembly without tools, and are ideal for sanitary and hygienic applications. The prime function of a rotary valve or airlock is to regulate the ow from one chamber to another while maintaining a good airlock condition. The product is mainly in dry powder or granular form. In the dust ltration eld a good airlock is essential on cyclone and bag lter applications in order that the manufacturers quoted high dust collection efciencies can be maintained. Airlocks are also important in the pneumatic conveying industry, where product is regulated into a pressure or vacuum conveying line while minimising air leakage. All our standard valves and airlocks are precision machined for close tolerances and minimal eccentricities. Options Applications ANSI Flange Easy slide rotor support Plastic rotor Reduced capacity rotor pockets Vents CIP cleaning features Air purged shaft seals Air service units Direct drive Teon coated interiors Specially designed for use with pneumatic conveying systems in dairy, food, pharmaceutical, nutritional products and other ingredients. Quick demounting without tools allows access to all product contact areas, for frequent cleaning. ATEX rated valves are available for use in hazardous zones.
