A rotary valve can take on lots of different jobs, depending on what is required of it, but its main task is to discharge dosed quantities of bulk material that can then move on to further treatment stages.
Rotary valves that are installed under silos and other repositories reduce the pressure that the bulk materials exert on the immediately adjacent components in a transport chain. Their dosing-based method of discharging also takes the strain off trough screw conveyors and other systems, including scales. Not only that, but rotary valves even provide burn back protection in cases where they are used with combustible materials.
