Rotary Airlock Valves
CV SERIES CONVEYING ROTARY AIRLOCK VALVE
Round Flange, Blow-Thru Valve
The CV Series Conveying Rotary Airlock Valve is designed to handle most types of dry granulated materials including difficult, sticky products in pneumatic conveying systems with conveying pressure up to 15 psi. This outboard bearing airlock has ports on the sides of the end covers that connect directly to the convey line pipe. The conveying air blows through the rotor pockets to assist the material to discharge directly into the conveying line.
This CV Series Rotary Airlock Valve achieves high fill efficiencies with minimum air leakage, due to precise machining and tight rotor clearances. The design of this valve is especially suited for low headroom installations and retrofit applications. The CV Series Conveying Rotary Airlock Valve is available in two sizes, 8” and 12”.
