Aerodyne Rhino H Rotary Valve is for metering dry granular materials in manufacturing processes. The new rotary airlock valve is intended for highly abrasive materials. Rotor vanes have hardened tips, and tight tolerances between shroud and rotor vanes minimize material entry that can cause wear. An optional abrasion-resistant coating is available. Typical applications include processes that handle cement, sugar, grains, plastic resins, and lime. Unlike most rotary valves made from castings and cannot be customized, Aerodyne’s are fabricated to fit almost any size system. It is available with four, six, or eight vanes.
