What is a Rotary Feeder?
A Rotary Feeder, also called a Rotary Airlock Valve or Rotary Valve, is an essential component in bulk material handling and pneumatic conveying systems. Its main function is to discharge bulk solids from hoppers, silos, or cyclones at a controlled rate while maintaining an airlock between different pressure zones.
The rotating vanes of the feeder continuously scoop and transfer materials, ensuring a steady flow while preventing air or gas leakage. It’s a key element for industries that handle powders, pellets, granules, and fine bulk solids.
