Multi-compartment rotary valve for higher-volume applications or split-line conveying feeds
Separate airlock compartments for improved efficiency, uptime and NFPA compliance. Ideal for high volumes of free-flowing granular material or situations where multiple independent feeds are needed.
Features & Benefits:
• Trough-style openings can be designed to fit dust collectors, hoppers, bins, silos and screw conveyors.
• Higher capacity with a smaller overall height for tight space engineered solutions.
• Tighter clearances enable NFPA compliance despite larger capacity outputs (since NFPA clearances can be challenging in larger airlocks).
• With independent drives, issues or a breakdown in one compartment can be contained and allow other compartments to continue operating.
• Common parts in a unique housing mean no special maintenance requirements. Spare parts are readily available (whereas spares for larger airlocks can have a longer lead time).
• Separate airlock compartments allow for intermittent feeds — two, three or four rotors can run simultaneously or independently for multi-line feeds.
• More compact design than other valves of its kind, which reduces stack-up in silos and dust collectors.
• Direct drives in each compartment allow for independent operation.
Options:
• Use to break up large pneumatic conveying systems into smaller, more manageable systems.
• Can be equipped with one elongated blow-through adapter to feed one system or multiple blow-through adapters for different line feeds.
• Equip with one large pressure blower package or several smaller ones for multiple systems.
