			'''Rotary Airlocks''' also known as rotary feeders or [[Rotary Valves]], are commonly used in industrial and agricultural applications as a component in a bulk or specialty material handling system. Rotary airlocks are primarily used for discharge of bulk solid material from
			hoppers or bins, receivers, and cyclones into a pressure or vacuum-driven pneumatic conveying system. Components of a rotary feeder include a rotor shaft, housing, head plates, and packing seals and bearings. Rotors have large vanes cast or welded on and are typically driven by small internal combustion engines or electric motors.

	Rotary airlock
	The basic use of the rotary airlock feeder is as an airlock transition point, sealing pressurized systems against loss of air or gas while maintaining a flow of material between components with different pressure and suitable for air lock applications ranging from gravity discharge of filters, ~~rotary valves~~, cyclone dust collectors, and rotary airlock storage devices to precision feeders for dilute phase and continuous dense phase pneumatic convey systems.

			===Rotary airlock===
			The basic use of the rotary airlock feeder is as an airlock transition point, sealing pressurized systems against loss of air or gas while maintaining a flow of material between components with different pressure and suitable for air lock applications ranging from gravity discharge of filters, [[Rotary Valves]], cyclone dust collectors, and rotary airlock storage devices to precision feeders for dilute phase and continuous dense phase pneumatic convey systems.

			===Rotary valve===
			Rotary airlock feeders or [[Rotary Airlock Valves]] are used in pneumatic conveying systems, dust control equipment, and as volumetric feed-controls.

			===Volumetric feeder===
	Rotary airlock valves are also widely used as volumetric feeders for metering materials at precise flow rates from bins, hoppers, or silos onto conveying or processing systems.

			==Types==

			===Rotary airlock feeders===
	Drop through rotary airlock feeders are designed for rugged applications that require an outboard bearing style unit where contamination and /or an abrasive product cannot be handled with an inboard bearing style. The outboard bearing feeders is engineered for use in high pressure pneumatic conveying systems, with high temperatures where more of an effective seal is required due to high or excessive wear that is experienced with a simple dust collector.

	~~[edit]~~Blow-thru rotary airlock feeder
			===Blow-thru rotary airlock feeder===
	The blow-thru rotary airlock feeder is ideal for pneumatic conveying applications in food, grain, chemical, milling, baking, plastics and pharmaceutical industries. The blow-thru airlocks feature a low profile with large capacity. High pressure differentials integral mounting feet, and retrofit competitive units. The blow-thru valves are available with 10-vane open-end rotor; outboard bearings and replaceable shaft seals.

	~~[edit]~~Easy clean rotary feeder
			===Easy clean rotary feeder===
	The easy-clean series rotary feeders can be fast and simply disassembled, thoroughly quick cleaned, sanitized and inspected or maintenance in a minimum amount of time without the use of tools or removal from service, thereby reducing downtime and increasing system production. Reassembly without tools is accomplished in minutes. Internal clearances are automatically re-established every time.

	The ~~Clean~~-in-place rotary feeder is a special purpose valve designed for where cross-contamination is a major concern and lengthy shut-downs for clean-out are cost-prohibitive, suited for ~~Dairy~~, ~~Pharmaceutical~~ industries, ~~Food~~, ~~Baking~~, ~~Chemical~~, ~~Plastics~~, ~~Paint~~, and ~~Powder Coating~~ plants.
	It is ideal for batch mixing systems such as those handling different colored resins which demand regular cleaning between cycles.
