Mechanical conveying systems for bulk solids
Optimize your bulk material processes with advanced mechanical conveying systems, ensuring efficient and precise dosing, feeding, and discharging while maintaining high production standards for diverse applications.
Controls and Discharges Fine-Grained Powders and Granulates
The Rotary Valves from Hosokawa Solids, a specialist in bulk solids handling, are specifically engineered for precise dosing and discharge of fine-grained and granular materials. These rotary valves excel in environments requiring stringent dust explosion safety, adhering to ATEX directives for various zones. Designed with versatility, they accommodate applications ranging from chemical processing to food and pharmaceuticals, seamlessly managing materials like polyethylene powders, lithium-ion battery components, and nutraceutical tablets.
Available models, such as the SRVS-basic and SRVP-protection system types, provide specific features like low pulsation discharge and enhanced safety for dust-prone areas. These units handle continuous operations efficiently with minimal manual intervention, integrating well into automated production lines. The valves’ robust construction, using materials like stainless and wear-resistant steel, ensures durability and reliability under demanding conditions.
Energy-efficient design and tailored solutions, such as scraper and blow-through rotary variants, enhance operational fluidity, while easy-to-disassemble formats simplify cleaning and maintenance. Customization options allow adaptation to specific site requirements, supported by Hosokawa’s engineering expertise for seamless integration and optimal performance.
