Air Lock
An air lock is an essential component of pneumatic conveying systems. Air locks control the flow of various granular or powdered materials from places such as silos, bunkers, cyclones, filters, and mixers. Air locks are used to block airflow between areas where materials are taken and discharged, under the influence of pressure, vacuum, or gravity. They ensure a regular and stable flow of the product. Depending on their types and application areas, air locks can be manufactured with cast steel bodies and steel blades, ST37 bodies and aluminum blades, or fully stainless steel construction.
A rotary valve is a type of valve that operates with a rotating mechanism, commonly used in industrial applications. These valves are typically used to control the flow of powders, granules, or other free-flowing materials. Rotary valves are ideal for transferring different materials between areas with varying pressure and can also function as air locks.
The main components of rotary valves are as follows:
- Rotor and Vanes: Inside the rotary valve, there is a rotating rotor. This rotor is typically designed in the form of a wheel or vanes and allows the material to pass through the valve.
- Pulley or Bearing: The rotor rotates on a pulley or bearing inside the valve. This structure ensures proper flow of materials within the valve.
- Protector: On the outside of the rotary valve, there is a casing that protects the rotor and the materials inside. This casing enhances the valve’s resistance to external factors and ensures the safe operation of the valve.
Rotary valves are typically driven mechanically (by motors or gear systems). These valves are used to regulate material flow in industrial processes and offer ideal solutions, especially for dust collection systems, feeding systems, conveying systems, and many other applications.
Rotary valves are a versatile type of valve commonly used in any industrial process where controlled transfer of powder or granular materials is required. Due to their reliability and durability, they play a crucial role in industrial manufacturing processes and ensure the efficient management of material flow
- Rotating Disk or Rotor: The main component of rotary valves operates on a rotating disk or rotor. This disk or rotor rotates to open and close the flow of fluid inside the valve.
- Direction and Flow Control: The rotor or disk typically rotates within a slot or channel inside the valve. This rotational motion controls the passage of fluid depending on whether the valve is open or closed.
- Mechanical or Pneumatic Control: Rotary valves can be controlled via a mechanical shaft or a pneumatic actuator. In mechanical control, the rotor is rotated with the help of a shaft or gear mechanism, while in pneumatic control, the rotor is moved using air pressure or vacuum.
- Application Versatility: Rotary valves are used in many different industrial applications. For example, they are commonly found in hydraulic systems, gas and liquid pipelines, industrial processes, and the automotive industry.
- Advantages: Rotary valves offer several advantages over other types of valves. These include fast opening and closing capabilities, low leakage risk, long service life, and generally low maintenance requirements.
Air Lock and Rotary Valve | Filtration Systems
Air lock and rotary valve systems are critical components that not only control air flow but also ensure the safe transfer of materials in industrial plants. These systems provide indispensable solutions in terms of energy efficiency, safety, and hygiene, especially in production facilities that handle dusty, gaseous, and contaminated environments. Our company, specializing in filtration systems and air management, ensures superior performance in the industrial sector with air lock and rotary valve products.
What is an Air Lock and How Does it Work?
An air lock helps maintain hygiene and safety by separating clean air from contaminated air. These systems are used in environments requiring high hygiene standards, such as food production, pharmaceutical industries, and laboratories. Air locks prevent dust, dirt, gases, and particles from entering the environment. This enhances the quality of production processes and maintains hygienic conditions in industrial settings.
What is a Rotary Valve and What Does it Do?
A rotary valve ensures the safe transport of dusty and granular materials. It also controls air passage, preventing harmful gases from leaking into the environment. These systems are widely used in sectors such as steam lines, dust transfer systems, and the food industry. Rotary valves regulate material transfer while also increasing energy efficiency and contributing to the system’s effective operation.
