May 2020 / 21 Rotary Airlock Valve HDX direct drive rotary airlock valve has few components and is easy to install. Valve has reduced maintenance by eliminating side-mounted sprockets and chain. Valve's direct drive is 5 percent more efficient than a chain drive, eliminating mechanical losses. Valve has no exposed rotat- ing shaft so is inherently safer, eliminating pinch points and the need for chain guards. Valve can be paired with a variable-speed controller for easy rotation speed adjustments. Wm. W. Meyer & Sons, Libertyville, IL 847-918-0111 www.rotaryvalve.com Rotary Valve ZXD blow-through rotary valve is designed for food, mineral, plastics, and chemical applications. Valve's patented blow-through channel provides optimal pocket sweeping, enhances rotor cleanout during conveying, and makes installation in tight areas possible. Valve can withstand pressure differentials up to 21 psig and temperatures to 212°F. Heavy-duty valve features an explosion pressure shock-proof rating of 145 psig. Valve comes standard with air-purged seals mounted with plastic or stainless steel tub- ing, a solenoid and filter regulator with gauge, and a large material inlet for filling efficiency. Coperion K-Tron Salina, Salina, KS 785-825-1611 www.coperion.com Airlock–Double-Dump Valve Airlock–double-dump valve feeds and measures material into or out of pressure or vacuum environments in four modes. Unit's enhanced pro- prietary cycle timer and accumulator chamber allow volumetric and gravimetric measuring capabilities in addition to traditional temporal and manual control. Unit allows the operator to switch between these modes almost instantaneously. Valve features load-cell mounts or level-sensor ports to provide feeding capabilities for volumetric feeding, and unit has flexible connections on the assembly for accurate weight measurement for gravimetric feeding. Roto-Disc, Erlanger, KY 513-871-2600 www.rotodisc.com Rotary Airlock Global cleanable airlock (GCA) rotary airlock is suitable for applications handling dry raw materials or finished products and where inspection or system cleanout is required. Airlock is designed for high process rates and sanitary applications, including food and pet food processes. Airlock features easy seal access when the rotor is removed from the end plate, all stainless steel construction except the end plate bearings, and housing and end plates that are explosion pressure shock-proof to 145 psig. Airlock has an oversized rotor shaft that creates a naturally radiused rotor pocket for more complete material release. Schenck Process, Whitewater, WI 800-558-0184 www.schenckprocess.com/us
