Rotary Airlock Valves
RV SERIES STANDARD ROTARY AIRLOCK VALVE - ROUND
Round Flange, Drip-Thru Valve
The RV Series Standard Rotary Airlock Valve is ideal for the pneumatic conveying of dry, free flowing, noncohesive bulk density products or powders. This round flange, drop-thru valve feeds material through the ten rotating vanes where it drops out the bottom outlet flange via gravity. This outboard bearing rotary airlock valve achieves high fill efficiencies with minimum air leakage, due to precise machining and tight rotor clearances. The RV Series Standard Rotary Airlock Valve is available in sizes from 6” up to 14”.

Features and Benefits
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Round inlet and outlet flange | Can mate up to a standard ANSI pipe flange as a duct providing standard compatibility |
| Fabricated 10 vane, fixed tip rotor | Better resolution and repeatability in metering resulting in more consistent operation / Maximizes air seal causing less air leakage |
| Cast iron construction | Offers rugged design providing maximum structural stability |
| Precision-machined housing | Minimizes rotor-to-barrel clearances limiting leakage |
| Outbound bearing design | Protects bearings from damaging contaminant extending maintenance cycles |
| Packing gland type seals | Makes for easy maintenance saving on costs |
| Open throat valve inlet design | Ensures material flow to rotor pockets maximizing performance |
| Handles differential pressures up to 15 psi | Well suited for pneumatic conveying operations |
| Chain and Sprocket drive | Makes for easy maintenance saving on costs |
