Rectangular shape offers many advantages over conventional round or square design.
Saves Headroom
It provides higher capacities without the need for larger diameter rotors that increase the height of the housing. This makes it a better choice for applications where headroom or space is limited.
Reduces Chances Of Bridging In Bins
Circular or square bin discharge openings are prone to bridging, funnel flow, and segregation. The Komline-Wyssmont Vane-Rotor Airlock rectangular design helps reduce, or even eliminate, these problems by mating up readily with rectangular bin discharge openings.
The Komline-Wyssmont design includes flexible blades, made of stainless steel or Teflon® strips, to provide a tight fit. The blades are also adjustable and replaceable to compensate for wear.
The unit is sturdily constructed with heavy duty components for long trouble free service. It is available in stainless steel, carbon steel, and various special alloys.
Perfect Match With Screw & Belt Feeders
The rectangular shape of the Komline-Wyssmont Airlock mates better with the feed and discharge flanges of screw feeders and belt feeders, as well as other types of process equipment. The rectangular opening also provides a discharge pattern that evenly distributes the output to conveyor belts and screw feeders. It can readily be adapted to fit pneumatic conveying systems.
Standard Features
Operating temperature to 600°F
Adjustable rotor blades
Outboard bearings & stuffing box shaft seals
Totally enclosed AC gearmotor
Sprocket and chains
Driveguard
