Rotary Airlock Valve
The rotary airlock valve discharges powdered and granular materials in a controlled way from equipment under pressure or vacuum. Using a rotating vaned rotor, it takes material from the inlet and moves it to the outlet. The airlock is used in dust-collection systems, cyclones, bag filters and pneumatic conveying.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main function of an airlock?
Controlled conveying and discharge of material while largely maintaining the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the machine.
Is the airlock suitable under a bag filter?
Yes. Continuous discharge of the dust collected beneath a bag filter is one of its main uses.
Can the airlock handle different materials?
Yes. By choosing the right vane volume, rotor material and sealing clearances, it can be used for various powdered and granular materials.
