The Airex Industries line of rotary airlocks are designed to control the flow of discharge material from a dust collector or other type of process by maintaining an air seal. A motor driven paddle wheel rotates material from the top of the housing to the bottom.
- Controlled and automated discharge of the dust collector
- Maintains the dust collector’s air seal
How Rotary Airlocks Work
- The discharge falls from the hopper into the rotary airlock.
- Paddle wheels with rubber extensions to keep the system hermetically sealed collect the discharge.
- A motor drive rotates the paddle wheels at a specified speed and eventually the particles are evacuated from the bottom of the system without breaking the air seal.
- Product density
- Abrasion
- Temperature
- Process ∆P
- Product discharge rate
- Available voltage
