What is a Rotary valve?
Rotary valves (also referred to as rotary airlocks, rotary feeders, etc.) are pneumatic valves that handle and meter the flow of granular bulk or powders. Material is fed into the valve via a hopper (see Figure 1) or other inlets, handled through the valve rotor, so deposited onto a conveyor system in discrete packets, all with minimal pressure loss. they’re most frequently employed in air conveyor systems to attenuate the loss of pressure across the valve, but rotary valves also are accustomed meter materials at a controlled feed rate. They work almost exclusively in air systems and performance as airlocks, explosion/flame barriers, and process isolators, among other tasks. they will move dry to slightly sticky products, and find many applications in chemical and food, pharmaceutical, plastic, and other manufacturing markets.
