Rotary Valve
Rotary valve systems are mechanical flow control devices designed to regulate the discharge and feeding of powdered and granular materials in a precise and consistent manner. At eQUIP, our rotary valves are engineered to handle materials such as cement, gypsum, fly ash, lime, and other dry bulk products with high reliability and long service life.
These valves are commonly installed at the bottom of silos, hoppers, or bins and act as an airlock while allowing material to pass through in measured volumes. This makes them essential for pneumatic conveying systems and screw conveyor integrations. By controlling the amount of product that exits a silo or enters a conveyor, they optimize system efficiency and reduce material waste.
Our rotary valves are manufactured from cast iron or stainless steel depending on the application. They are available in various sizes and rotor configurations, including closed, open, and pocketed rotor types. Precision machining ensures tight clearances, reducing air leakage and maintaining pressure differentials in pneumatic systems. Optional features include explosion-proof motors, adjustable speed control, and replaceable wear-resistant liners for extended durability.
These systems are widely used in the cement industry, chemical processing, food-grade powder handling, and bulk transport setups. They operate quietly and consistently, requiring minimal maintenance, and can be cleaned or replaced quickly due to their modular build.
If you're looking for a robust and efficient flow regulation solution that integrates seamlessly with bulk systems, our rotary valve units provide the performance and durability required in demanding industrial environments.
