Rotary Air Lock Valve

Rotary Air Lock Valve

Varahi Industries’ Rotary Air Lock Valve is a precision-engineered solution for controlling the flow of bulk materials between pneumatic conveying lines, gravity feeds, or volumetric dosing points. It meters material consistently while maintaining differential air pressure between connected equipment—minimizing leakage and maximizing system efficiency.

Essential in dust collection, cyclone discharge, bin/hopper unloading and feeder applications, the valve ensures smooth, dust-free handling with reliable sealing performance.

Working Principle

Design & Construction

  • Fabricated/cast housing with precision-bored body for tight clearances.
  • Helical or straight multi-vane rotor (closed or open end) for different products.
  • End covers with stuffing box/mechanical seals to minimize air & dust leakage.
  • Gearbox–motor drive with safety guards; optional chain/coupling arrangements.
  • Materials: MS, SS 304/316, or special alloys as per application.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Accurate volumetric metering for steady process control.
  • Excellent air sealing to maintain line pressure and reduce losses.
  • Dust-free operation; improved hygiene and safety.
  • Low maintenance with robust bearings and wear parts.
  • VFD-ready for flexible throughput control and energy efficiency.
