FAQs of Rotary Air Locks:
Q: How are the rotary air locks installed in industrial plants?
A: Rotary air locks can be installed either horizontally or vertically, using floor or flange mounting as per site requirements. Installation is straightforward, aided by comprehensive guidelines provided with the equipment, ensuring secure and efficient integration into existing material handling systems.
Q: What is the process of selecting rotor material for these valves?
A: Rotor material, available in Mild Steel or Stainless Steel, is selected based on the product being handled and industry requirements. Stainless Steel is recommended for food, pharmaceutical, or chemical applications, while Mild Steel suits cement and allied industries where corrosion resistance is less critical.
Q: When should rotary air locks be customized for blade number and size?
A: Customization of blade count and inlet/outlet diameter is done to match process throughput and material characteristics. For finer powders or higher capacities, more blades and larger diameters are ideal; customization is available on request to ensure optimal performance in specific applications.
Q: Where can rotary air locks be used in bulk material processing?
A: Rotary air locks are utilized in transferring, feeding, and discharging bulk materials such as powders, granules, and grains. They are common in cement, food processing, chemical, pharmaceutical, feed, plastics, and other allied industry plants, enhancing process efficiency and dust control.
Q: What are the benefits of precision gap sealing in rotary air locks?
A: Precision gap sealing minimizes air leakage, which maintains system pressure, prevents contamination, and supports efficient pneumatic conveying. This design feature boosts operational safety and energy efficiency while ensuring consistent material flow during feeding and discharge operations.
Q: How is the machine lubricated and maintained during operations?
A: The rotary air lock is grease-packed for smooth, long-life operation even under continuous use. Regular inspections and maintenance, as per the manufacturers recommendations, further ensure the rotor, gear motor, and sealing surfaces remain in optimal working condition, minimizing wear and tear.
Q: What is the typical power and noise level of rotary air locks?
A: Rotary air locks operate with motor power ranging from 0.75 to 5 kW and maintain a noise level below 75 dB. These specs ensure the machine functions efficiently and quietly in diverse industrial environments without contributing to excessive workplace noise.
