Pneuvay Engineering’s Rotary Valves are ideal for regulating the flow of material from one chamber to another whilst maintaining a good airlock condition.

Rotary Valves are used extensively in applications associated with pneumatic conveying and dust filtration as both of these applications require that air leakage is minimised and material is metered at an even, but quick pace.

Pneuvay Engineering’s rotary valves are designed to be used in either pressure, vacuum or gravity systems. They are ideal for conveying most dry solids, granular materials, pelleted and powdered materials. Companies typically use rotary valves to meter materials from the outlets of silos, hoppers, cyclones, mixers, weighers and dust collectors.

Pneuvay Engineering’s Rotary Valves generally consist of a cast iron body, adjustable stainless steel tips, and outrigger bearings. They are usually supplied with a geared motor, but are also available as a bare shaft. For use in sanitary conditions, all components are available in stainless steel. In addition, Pneuvay Engineering’s Rotary Valves are available in either drop through (standard), or blow-through design. Some companies also request a shrouded mild steel rotor to further protect fine clearances from wearing. When used with particularly abrasive materials, all contact surfaces on the rotary valve are treated with a Tungsten-Carbide hardening process.

The main features of Pneuvay Engineering’s Rotary Valves are as follows;

· Minimum clearances at rotor tips and sides of body
· Large throat opening - efficient pocket filling
· Close manufacturing tolerances
· High quality
· Competitively priced
· Built to last
