FAQs (Frequently asked questions)
Find detailed answers to common questions about Direct Drive Rotary Airlock Valve (Direct Coupled) in our Knowledge centre.
Direct drive or direct coupled rotary airlock valve as the name says – it connects the rotor shaft of the RAV to the motor & gearbox mounted to rotate the vanes. The need of chain & sprocket designs is eliminated making them preferred choice for applications where hygiene, safety, reliability & precision are prioritized over initial cost.
The following factors should be taken into consideration while selecting a Rotary Airlock valve:
- Materials to be handled such as abrasive, corrosive, moisture contents and particle size
- Flow rate of the materials
- Pressure drops calculations (High pressure drop will reduce the efficiency of RAV and increase energy costs – Instead select the RAV with a tight seal and correct sized rotor to minimise the energy expense)
- Right selection of RAV for Pneumatic conveying systems: Drop through Rotary Airlock Valves works well with handling materials like coffee beans, grains, poly granules etc. While materials like cocoa powder, Flour, Chemicals powders, Milk powders etc. works well with Blow through rotary airlock valves.
- Easy Repair & maintenance: Choose the Rotary airlock valve which provides convenient access to rotor and vanes thus minimizing the downtime and lower maintenance costs.
