Overview
A Rotary Airlock Valve is an essential component used in bulk material handling systems to control the flow of materials between different chambers or conveyors while maintaining air pressure. Widely used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and power generation, the rotary airlock valve ensures smooth and consistent material flow, preventing air leakage between chambers while regulating product feeding.
The valve consists of a rotating rotor with pockets that collect material and transfer it from one chamber to another while preventing the flow of air or gases, thereby maintaining system pressure and efficiency. Its robust design allows it to handle various materials, including powders, granules, and pellets.
