For sanitary rotary valves and in hygienic powder conveying systems it is frequently necessary to de-mount rotary valve and airlock rotors for cleaning - this optional accessory assists the operator by safely supporting and precisely aligning the rotor components.
Application:
The Easy-Slide Rotor Support is an optional accessory for all sizes of GEA Nu-Con demountable convey and drop-through rotary valves for hygienic and sanitary applications. It safely supports the rotor and non-drive endplate when they are removed from the valve bore, and keeps them precisely aligned for reassembly.
Rotor and endplate are mounted to a hinged, slide-rod carriage assembly supported by precision linear bearings. Endplate only, or complete rotor and endplate assembly can be removed in one operation, without tools, and turned to one side for full access to all product-contact surfaces.
Design speeds and simplifies inspection, cleaning and maintenance. It's ideal for applications where the valve requires frequent disassembly or is not easily accessible.
Reduces risk of damage to precision-machined rotor and body bore for optimum valve performance.
