Rotary Airlock Valves
RVS SERIES STANDARD ROTARY AIRLOCK VALVE - SQUARE
Square Flange, Drop-Thru Valve
The RVS Series Standard Rotary Airlock Valve is ideal for the pneumatic conveying of dry, free flowing, noncohesive bulk density products or powders. This square flange, drop-thru valve feeds material through the six rotating vanes where it drops out the bottom outlet flange via gravity. This outboard bearing airlock (valve) achieves high fill efficiencies with minimum air leakage, due to precise machining and tight rotor clearances. The RVS Series Standard Rotary Airlock Valve is available in a 12” size.
