Rotary Airlock Valves

Rotary Airlock Valves

The prime function of a rotary valve is to regulate the flow from one chamber to another while maintaining a good airlock condition. The product is mainly in dry powder or granular form. We Design & Supply various types of Rotary Airlock Valves & Rotary Feeders of highest quality & most efficient customized to the desired application for wide range of applications across the spectrum of industries namely steel, food, spices, fine chemicals, carbon black, sugar, cement, minerals, petrochemicals and many more.
In the dust filtration field good airlocks are essential on cyclone and bag filter applications in order that the manufacturer’s quoted high dust collection efficiencies can be maintained. Airlocks are also important in the pneumatic conveying industry, where product is regulated into a high pressure conveying line while minimizing air leakage.
With Tesco there are no double standards, all our standard feeders are precision machined for close tolerances and minimal eccentricities.
Our rotary valves are rugged, trouble-free performance as feeders and airlocks in both vacuum and low pressure positive systems. We manufacture rotary valves of wide range of sizes, types and materials of construction for versatile use in most of the applications; including air locks in dust control systems, volumetric feeders to maintain constant material feed or discharge as well as feeders in pneumatic conveying systems. Also used as intermittent sealing of air or gas between two equipment working under different pressures
