Blow-through rotary airlock valve - Dosing of powder for feeding pneumatic conveying systems
15 models: flow rate from 5 to 38 liters/rev.
Cast iron, 304, 316L stainless construction
These rotary airlock valves, also known as blow through feeders, are designed for controlling the discharge rate of material from silos and hoppers by gravity or in pneumatic conveying (vacuum or pressure) lines.
Rotary airlock valves are designed for metering the feed of powdered or granular material in silos, hoppers, pneumatic conveying systems, bag filters and cyclones in powder handling processes.
Equipment advantages

Rotary airlock valve Palamatic Process
Palamatic Process rotary valves have been designed for use in the food and feed, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Rotary airlock valve
Body in cast iron or stainless steel AISI 304L/316L.
Rotary airlock valve salt
The blow through rotary valves are specially designed for pneumatic conveying applications. They can be mounted in line on the conveying pipe.
Rotary airlock valve Palamatic Process
The advantage of the rotary locks with lateral passage is that they can handle sticky powdery products.
Rotary airlock valve range
The passage of the conveying air through the airlock ensures that the rotor is cleaned by removing the adhered particles from the walls.
Sugar industry application
Production line for confectionery products.
Blow trough rotary airlock valve
Dense phase pneumatic conveying with integrated stainless steel hopper and dosing system.
Sugar dosing
Sugar metering for big bag packing.
Features
Technical specification
Two compartments are filled with product through the inlet at the top of the valve. After less than a half turn, the rotor discharges the product into the current generated by the velocity of air that passes through the lower part of the rotary airlock valve.
Inlet and outlet flanges are used to install the rotary valve to the pneumatic piping. The in-line connection of the rotary valve on the pneumatic piping provides the speed setting and feed rate of the bulk material to be processed. A degassing line may be connected to the valve body to balance the volumes and ensure optimal filling.
- Rotor: integral with rounded blades, with flaps (Viton®, Vulkolan and Teflon®)
- Fixed speed of the rotor : 10, 20, 30 rev./min.
- Variable speed of the rotor : 4 - 22 rev./min.
