Side Entry Rotary Airlock Valves Key Specifications

Rotor Design

Side entry rotor with 6 deep-pocket blades and horizontal inlet optimized for low-density fibrous insulation materials entering from horizontal conveyors.

Housing Material

Carbon steel housing with epoxy-coated internals and side-mounted inlet port, resistant to phenolic resin binders in mineral wool processing areas.

Inlet Size Range

200mm to 450mm side-mounted rectangular inlet flanges sized for the high-volume, low-density nature of fibrous insulation materials.

Pressure Rating

Differential pressure sealing up to 0.5 bar with flexible elastomer shaft seals suitable for low-pressure insulation material conveying systems.

Temperature Range

Standard operation from ambient to 120°C, handling warm mineral wool trimmings from horizontal trim conveyors and curing oven discharge areas.

Blade Configuration

6-blade rotor with chamfered leading edges and UHMWPE blade tips, configured for effective horizontal fiber intake without wrapping or bridging.

Industrial Applications

Horizontal Trim Conveyor Discharge
Receives shredded mineral wool trimmings from horizontal belt conveyors, providing airlock feeding into pneumatic recycling lines in low-ceiling production areas.
Low-Profile Fiber Hopper Feed
Feeds insulation fibers from low-profile surge hoppers where vertical clearance is insufficient for drop-through valves, maintaining continuous fiber recycling flow.
Confined Dust Collection Outlet
Discharges collected insulation dust from bag filter hoppers in areas with restricted overhead space, sealing the dust collection system in tight installations.
