A rotary airlock valve for bulk conveying systems is said to be designed for highly abrasive materials, The Rhino H Rotary Valve from Aerodyne, Cleveland, has rotor vanes with hardened tips and tight tolerances between shroud and rotor vanes to minimize material entry that can cause wear.
Similarly, a stainless rotary airlock valve at the hopper discharge is equipped with integral support rails that allow the rotor assembly to separate from the valve body for sanitizing of all material contact surfaces, and close securely in seconds--also without tools.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Meyer Rotary Airlock Feeders offer the industry's broadest range of sizes, features and capabilities.
