Rotary Air Lock Valve

RK Engineering is a premier Rotary Air Lock Valve manufacturer, supplier, and exporter specializing in precision-engineered air seal solutions. Based in Vatva, Ahmedabad, we design heavy-duty Rotary Air Lock Valves (also known as Rotary Feeders) that are essential for maintaining a consistent pressure seal while regulating the flow of bulk solids, powders, and granules. Our valves are the “gatekeepers” of pneumatic conveying systems, dust collectors, and cyclone separators, ensuring 100% airtight performance and preventing pressure loss in high-demand industrial environments.

  • Pressure Management: Maintains a perfect air seal between different pressure zones in pneumatic conveying.

  • Non-Clogging Design: Precision-machined rotors with variable speed feeders ensure smooth material discharge without blockages.

  • Explosion Protection: Acts as a flame barrier to prevent dust explosions from traveling through the system.

  • Versatile Applications: Widely used in the Chemical, Food Processing, Pharmaceutical, Cement, and Mineral industries across Canada and the USA.

  • Low Maintenance: Heavy-duty bearings and robust housing ensure long service life with minimal downtime.

Rotary Air Lock Valve FAQs
What is the primary function of a Rotary Air Lock Valve?

The primary function is to act as an "air seal" while continuously discharging bulk solids (powders, granules, pellets). It maintains a specific pressure differential between two zones, ensuring 100% airtight performance.

How do you prevent air leakage in high-pressure systems?

We maintain high-precision tip clearances (< 0.20 mm) between the rotor and the housing. Additionally, we use 8-blade or 10-blade rotors and specialized gland packing to minimize air bypass.

Can RK Engineering valves handle high-temperature materials?

Yes. Our standard valves handle up to 250°C, while High-Temperature Rotary Feeders with outboard bearings and heat-resistant seals can operate efficiently up to 400°C.

Which material of construction (MOC) is best for my industry?
  • Stainless Steel (SS 316/304): Best for Food, Pharma, and Corrosive Chemical industries.
  • Cast Iron / Mild Steel: Ideal for abrasive minerals, cement, and general dust collection.
  • Hardened Liners: Recommended for highly abrasive materials to extend valve life.
What is the difference between an Open End and a Closed End rotor?
  • Open End: Best for non-sticky, free-flowing powders.
  • Closed End: Ideal for abrasive materials, protects housing end-covers, and reduces buildup.
Does RK Engineering provide variable speed options?

Yes. We offer VFD-compatible gear motors (0.5 HP to 5 HP) to precisely control the discharge rate (RPM) based on your production requirements.

Do your valves meet the electrical standards for the USA and Canada?

Absolutely. We supply motors and control panels configured for 60Hz frequency and specific voltage requirements (e.g., 460V), ensuring "plug-and-play" compatibility.

How do you support customers in Kenya and South Africa?

We provide heavy-duty, reinforced valves for rugged environments in mining and agriculture sectors. All exports include sea-worthy packaging and full technical documentation.
