Drop through – Selfcleaning

Drop through - selfcleaning

This self-cleaning rotary valve is designed with a rotating scraper at the bottom. Since this rotates synchronously with the upper rotor, any sticky material is continuously scraped away from the upper rotor. Hence, the functionality of the rotary valve is maintained even if it is a sticky medium.

This rotary valve can be adapted to your specific needs – for example:

• Size/capacity and flange dimensions are adapted to the customer’s needs.
• The internal parts of the lock can be protected against wear, e.g. via hardening, use of wear-resistant steel or ceramic coatings.
• We offer, among other things, coating with WolframCarbid, which is a particularly competitive solution compared to e.g. ceramic tiles.
• The rotor can be supplied in wear-reinforced material, with ground blades, cam blades, “concave” blades or rubber blades
• The rotor can be driven via hollow shaft gear, direct drive via clutch or chain drive
• The lock can be designed to handle operating temperatures up to 400 degrees °C
• Withstands differential pressure up to 2.5 bar
• Surface treatment of any kind

Why choose a self-cleaning rotary valve? 

If your product has a tendency to clog up a regular rotary valve due to the inherent properties of the material being handled, a self cleaning rotary valve might be just the solution you are looking for.

Having to disassemble and clean a part of your production line constantly is far from ideal and will lead to a lot of unnecessary downtime. Our self-cleaning rotary valve is the ideal piece of equipment to maintain a steady flow of materials without interruptions.

Its modern and intelligent design keeps the rotor continuously clean with a built-in scraper that can handle even the most difficult substances. Additionally, our rotary valve can be modified to suit your specific production line, material and setup. This, in turn, will enable your production line to run at peak efficiency uninterrupted.
