Heavy duty rotary valves for powder handling
In the handling and processing of powders, granules, and pellets, ensuring efficient and safe transfer between different stages is critical. Standard metering solutions often struggle with issues like product leakage, system isolation, and maintaining airlock integrity—especially in high-demand industrial settings.
Secure and efficient transfer of bulk solids
The heavy-duty rotary valves by Gericke are engineered to address these common challenges. These rotary valves have a highly modular design, making them adaptable for various product characteristics and applications. Specifically, these valves function as a metering device, airlock, explosion containment, flame barrier, and system isolation. They are suitable for gravity, positive pressure, and vacuum conveying systems, effectively handling powders, granules, pellets, grains, feed, and chips. Manufactured in their production facility in Chippenham, UK, these valves are designed for use in industries such as dairy, food, pharmaceutical, minerals, plastics, and power plants. Their robust construction ensures minimal product leakage and optimum system isolation, making them reliable for demanding environments.
