Typically found installed above mixers, tablet presses and packing lines, the heavy-duty rotary valve allows for accurate dosing of material.
Using an electric motor rotating the rotor 360°, the heavy duty rotary valve is designed for applications where greater control and accuracy of dosing is required. The valve is of fully stainless steel construction with ‘labyrinth’ design where there is no sealing gasket between the two faces. The labyrinth seal makes it particularly suitable for use in applications where the wear of the gaskets is not acceptable. The number and volume of pockets can be customized in order to achieve a specific dosage.
The system below shows a heavy-duty rotary valve connected to a control panel which allows the user to regulate and alter speed of rotation, set the number of rotations and, if required to, work with load cells for high accuracy applications.
