This range has products for removal of fine dust from cyclone separators, bag filters or other dust suppression equipment, to feeding granular or fine material into pneumatic conveying system, against pressure up to 1 kg/cm². The range of products includes: rotary valves, high vacuum pumps, roots blowers, centrifugal air blowers, axial fans, bag filters or reverse pulse jet filters, dust collecting systems, pneumatic conveying systems, knife gate valves, etc. The company offers side entry type rotary valve. Side entry feeders are used on applications involving relatively large particles that cannot be reduced by shearing between the rotor blades on the housing at the inlet. Side entry feeders are also used where fine products by this shearing action might cause damage to the system or create hazard. The inlet and outlet flanges are offset. Material entering from the side settles into the pocket of the rotor and particles do not get trapped between the blade and the housing. This type of feeders operates at fix speed and about 40% of the pocket capacity.
