Rotary valve
Top brand rotary valve “AISHIN INDUSTIAL”
A rotary valve is one of the most important equipment for airlocks in the discharging and quantitative supply of powder and granules from a hopper/tank and pneumatic transportation. AISHIN INDUSTIAL has standardized rotary valves by application based on its long years of experience and achievements in Japan to meet your needs. AISHIN INDUSTIAL (THAILAND) is providing such equipment in the ASEAN region.
What is a rotary valve?
It is a mechanism in which a rotor that is driven by a motor is inserted into a horizontal cylindrical case, and powder particles that fill the rotor are moved from the upper part to the lower part by rotation and discharge/supply by gravity. The flow and stopping of the powder particles can be controlled by turning on/off the rotation. By combining the rotor with a variable speed motor, it is also possible to control the feed speed of powder particles.
The size of the rotary valve is determined by the required discharge capacity. In addition, as there are various types of powder and granules to be handled, the optimal one can be selected from combination of all specifications such as material, rotor shape, and various options.
