Side Entry Side Discharge Rotary Airlock Valves

Side Entry – Side discharge model Rotary Air Lock Valve [Side entry rotary valve] lines are specially designed with offset inlet and discharge opening to reduce product shearing while maintaining an efficient product flow in conveying or metering applications. The Valve name derives form the Offset inlet and outlet flanges, where product enters the side of the rotor instead of top.
On a normal valve, shearing takes place as
rotor rotates into the housing. When these two
edges meet on a typical drop thru rotary Air
Lock the product is caught on the upswing of
the rotor blades so that the product is
constantly filling away from the shear point. The
rotor pockets also do not fill completely,
reducing the likehood of shearing. Lastly, the
through out has V shape which helps push
product out of the way.
