FAQs of Rotary Airlock:
Q: How does the rotary airlock ensure efficient material handling in industrial applications?
A: The rotary airlock utilizes eight vanes and a computerized control system to maintain a steady 20-30 RPM rotor speed, efficiently transferring materials while minimizing air leakage. Its design allows for a sorting efficiency of up to 95%, essential for high-volume industrial, cement manufacturing, and food processing operations.
Q: What are the primary benefits of the mirror-polished stainless steel construction?
A: Mirror-polished stainless steel ensures excellent resistance to corrosion and contamination, making the airlock ideal for sensitive environments like food processing. Additionally, it simplifies cleaning and maintenance, thereby extending the equipments lifespan and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Q: When should this rotary airlock be used within a processing system?
A: This rotary airlock is best deployed at points where controlled, dust-free material transfer is requiredsuch as feeding bulk solids into pneumatic conveying systems or separating different processing sections. Its operating temperature tolerance (up to 200C) ensures reliable performance in both high-heat industrial and food-grade processes.
Q: Where can this rotary airlock be installed in an industrial facility?
A: Thanks to its flanged end connection and compact dimensions (800 x 450 x 500 mm), the airlock can be integrated into existing systems at material entry or exit points, such as hoppers, silos, or conveyors, facilitating smooth and sealed material flow.
Q: What process advantages does the computerized, automatic operation offer?
A: The computerized and automatic functionality allows for precise control of material flow, reduces manual intervention, and optimizes efficiency. This ensures steady operation with high sorting accuracy, effectively reducing product loss and downtime.
Q: How is air-tight sealing maintained during operation?
A: An air-tight gasket is incorporated into the design, ensuring minimal air or material escape during rotation. This feature is essential for maintaining process pressure, preventing contamination, and maximizing material handling efficiency.
