Rotary Airlock
Rotary Airlock
Rotary airlocks are important components of pneumatic conveying systems. Rotary airlock is also known as rotary valve, rotary feeder or airlock feeder. The main function of a rotary valve is to control flow of bulk solids from silo, mixer, cyclone or hopper under gravity, pressure and vacuum conditions.
Application Areas
Silo Discharge:
The rotary valve placed under the silo or dust collection system is used to control the bulk solid discharge.
Dosage Control:
By controlling the rotation speed of the airlock feeder, volumetric metering and dosing of granular solids is achieved.
Pneumatic Transportation:
The airlock mounted under a cyclone is used for discharging the cyclone.
Pneumatic Transportation:
Rotary valves mounted under cyclones, silos or hoppers are used to feed the pneumatic conveying line.
Rotary Airlock Models
| FT Series Flow through rotary airlocks are used in wide range of applications. |
 |
| BT Series Blow through rotary valves are used in pneumatic transport systems. They are suitable for tranfering sticky powdered materials. |
|
| OS Series The Off Set type also refered as side entry type rotary feeders are used for preventing crackage of delicate materials like sunflower seed and peanut. These models are also suitable for hard to shear pellets like nylon or plastic granules. |
|
Rotor Types:
Closed End RotorsClosed end rotors reduce air leakage. They prevent wear on side covers of airlock when handling abrasive materials. |
 |
Open End RotorsOpen end rotors are generally used in blow through type rotary feeders. |
|
Adjustable Bladed RotorsAdjustable blades are used in handling abbrassive materials for longer operational life. |
|
Scalloped RotorsThe scalloped rotor design is suitable for sticky materials. |

Accessories, Optional Applications
Stainless Steel Airlock304 and 316 stainless steel airlocks are used for handling materials in food and chemistry industry. |
|
Inlet Slide GateThe slide gate is used for adjusting material flow to the rotary valve. |
|
Outlet AdapterOutlet adapters are used for connecting the FT and OS series airlocks to pneumatic conveying pipeline. |
|
Dosage Control SystemDifferent materials can be mixed with precision with the help of rotary valves. The volumetric dosing system is conrolled by PLC and computer. Dosage control software lets the user adjust the mixing percentages. |
