The Airex industries line of trickle valve provide a low cost, efficient, durable, means of controlling a dust collector’s discharge. trickle valve is available in multiple sizes, use only one moving part, have no electrical connections, are easy to inspect, and can withstand abrasive materials.
- Natural control of a dust collector’s discharge
- Simple and efficient design
- Low capital investment and maintenance costs
- Ease of inspection even while in operation
How Trickle Valve Work
- A hinged plate maintains the seal between the collector and the discharge.
- Once the accumulation of dust exceeds the vacuum pressure, the plate of the trickle valve releases and allows the material to flow via gravity.
Selection Criteria for a Trickle Valve:
- Mass of discharged product
- Operational temperature
- Dust collector’s ∆P
- Product discharge rate
- Abrasiveness
- Corrosiveness
