Rotary Valves / Feeders are placed under the hoppers or bins to arrange for uniform feed of material to the conveying equipment. Basically it is a volumetric feeding device which helps in applications where the flow rate of the solids needs to be controlled. They can be designed to have approximately 85% volumetric efficiency.

Rotary Valves have wide application in industry wherever dry free-flowing powders, granules, crystals, or pellets are used. It can be used to handle bulks even under high temperature. However it should not be used for hard and abrasive materials.

Rotary Valve consists of star type rotor and casing. It is widely used for feeding material into pneumatic conveying line and periodical discharge of material from hopper. Rotary valves help in reducing hazards from explosive dust and volatile material due to air tight construction.

Application

Used to feed dry free-flowing powders, granules, crystals, or pellets

Economical solution for automated handling of most discharge dust

Used to control product flow rate to the required rate (fixed or variable)

Can be used to handle bulks even under high temperature

Most common means of feeding pneumatic conveying systems

Also an act as process isolator

Advantages

Low cost

Easy to install, operate and maintain

Wide range available depending on application and need

Useful as an explosion and flame barrier

Help in reducing hazards from explosive dust and volatile material due to air tight construction

Features

Available in Inlet Size: 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″, 16″, 20″, 24″ and 30″
