Thanks to its highly modular design, our rotary valves can be adapted for virtually all types of product characteristics and applications:
Metering device
Airlock, explosion containment, flame barrier and system isolation
Suitable for gravity, positive pressure and vacuum conveying systems
Powders, granules, pellets, grain, feed and chips
The RotaVal airlocks are used in many different industries, such as dairy, food, pharmaceutical, minerals, plastics, power plants and others.
The Gericke RotaVal EHD units have been well-proven over many years and are widely used in discharging under adverse pressure conditions, materials such as cement, PFA, granite dust, silica sand, mineral powders etc.
Replaceable internal components allow for on-site refurbishment.
Standard valves manufactured in cast iron / SG iron / carbon steel construction with round flange. To further enhance durability replaceable body liner can be hard chromed or ceramic coated.
Rotor shaft sealing options include various types of gland packing, mechanical seals, air or grease purge.
NOTE: Service life of these valves will vary according to the service conditions prevailing. Selection must be undertaken with care and system conditions where possible adopted to ensure maximum service life.
The design and manufacturing of rotary valves beyond the commonly used sizes and shapes is a challenge to many manufacturers. For those applications requiring large throughputs or handling large size particles, for example in chemical and aggregates industries, this is not the case for Gericke RotaVal.
