Side Entry Rotary Airlock Valves Key Specifications

Rotor Design

Side entry rotor with 8 heavy-duty blades and horizontal inlet configuration for efficient pickup of dense mineral ores and bulk industrial powders.

Housing Material

Ni-hard cast iron housing with optional ceramic lining and side-mounted heavy-duty inlet flange for extreme abrasion resistance in mining environments.

Inlet Size Range

200mm to 500mm side-mounted rectangular heavy-duty flanged inlets for connection to horizontal conveyors and confined mineral processing discharge points.

Pressure Rating

Differential pressure sealing up to 2.5 bar with reinforced side entry seal design for high-pressure mineral concentrate pneumatic conveying circuits.

Temperature Range

Standard operation from -20°C to 120°C, suitable for surface mining, underground operations, and general industrial installations with space constraints.

Blade Configuration

8-blade rotor with tungsten carbide-tipped replaceable inserts and asymmetric pocket design optimized for horizontal material intake in mining applications.

Industrial Applications

Underground Mining Conveyor Interface
Feeds mineral material from horizontal conveyors into pneumatic lines in low-ceiling underground mining operations where vertical clearance is severely limited.
Confined Crusher Discharge Feed
Accepts crushed material from horizontal discharge chutes in space-constrained crusher house installations, providing airlock sealing for pneumatic transport.
Low-Profile Industrial Hopper Feed
Meters bulk industrial powders from low-profile hoppers into pneumatic conveying lines where overhead space restricts conventional top-entry valve installation.
