Aride - General Structure Cell Wheel Air Lock Rotary Valve
Rotary valve - air lock; generally consists of a cast body with a different geometric structure, a rotor rotating inside the body and side covers that axially support the rotor. The rotation of the rotor is done by an electric or hydraulic motor reducer.
The rotational motion is transferred to the motor-reducer rotor shaft directly, via a coupling or a chain gear mechanism.
Side covers connected to the main body provide bearing for the rotor. There are bearing (bearing etc.) and sealing (felt or soft packing) equipment on the side covers. The bearings located on the side covers are removed from the body and protected by dust felt in order not to be affected by the working conditions.
The powder or granular material in bulk flows into the space between the wings on the rotor shaft with its own weight. The rotor driven by the reducer rotates and the material filled between the wings is discharged from the upper filling port to the lower outlet port with the movement of the rotor. The discharge point varies according to the systems in which the cell wheel is operated. The cell wheel transfers the material to the pipeline in pneumatic conveying systems. In mechanical conveying systems, it is transferred to helical, chain or belt conveyors, elevators, big bags or weighing units.
