A pressure rotary lock is a system of two rotary valves interconnected by a pressurization chamber. The pressure rotary locks enable pressureless feeding or discharge of powders or liquids to or from overpressure or vacuum-pressure areas. The pressure rotary locks are installed at gravity transfer points at a maximum pressure differential up to 10 bars. If ATEX 95 certified, the pressure rotary locks can be operated in Ex-zones or as standalone explosion isolation systems.
Applications
Discharge of powders / liquids from overpressure or vacuum-pressure areas;
