Rotolok

Easy Release

Easy Release

KEY FEATURES

• Maximum number of blades in contact with body at one time without affecting throughput.
• Good throat opening at valve entry allowing high pocket filling efficiency.
• Minimum clearance at rotor tips and sides with body.
• Robust body adequately stiffened to prevent distortion.
• Heavy shaft diameters minimising deflection.
• Outboard bearings for non-contamination.
• Packing gland type seals.
• Maximising valve speed to 25 rpm -prolonging life, ensuring good throughput.
• Precision machining of components.

Rotolok offer an Easy Release rotary valve designed to allow just one person to maintain and easily clean the rotor. Being on rails saves on production downtime and reduces man hours. An inspection door can also be fitted in the valve body that provides access and surveying of the valve internals to check for wear.
