Rotary Valves are used extensively in applications associated with pneumatic conveying and dust filtration as both of these applications require that air leakage is minimised and material is metered at an even, but often quick pace.
They are designed to be used in either pressure or gravity systems and are ideal for conveying most dry solids, granular materials, pelleted and powdered materials in outlets of silos, hoppers, cyclones, mixers, weighers and dust collectors.
Rotary Valves are ideal for regulating the flow of material from one chamber to another whilst maintaining a good airlock condition. Rotary Valves are generally supplied with a gearmotor, but are also available as a bare shaft and for use in sanitary conditions.
