Aerodyne's Rhino H Rotary Valve Handles Abrasive Materials and Can Be
Custom Made to Any Size
CLEVELAND, Ohio - June 24, 2009—Aerodyne announced the
Rhino H Rotary
Valve, used for metering dry granular materials in manufacturing processes.
The new rotary airlock valve provides a smooth, predictable flow of material
without the problems that plague other valves not designed for abrasive
materials or not able to be customized.
Intended for highly abrasive materials, the Rhino H Valve is highly rugged
and dependable, minimizing the need for maintenance and replacement. Rotor
vanes have hardened tips, and tight tolerances between shroud and rotor vanes
minimize material entry that can cause wear. Moreover, an optional
abrasion-resistant coating is available.
Typical applications include processes that handle high-abrasion materials,
including cement, sugar, grains, plastic resins, and lime. It may also be used
beneath dust collectors and cyclone separators.
Plant maintenance managers and engineering companies can avoid expensive
retrofits by ordering Rhino H Valves in custom sizes. Unlike most rotary
valves which are made from castings and cannot be customized, Aerodyne's Rhino
H Valves are fabricated to fit almost any size system.
The valve is available with four, six, or eight vanes which are always
sealing, preserving the negative or positive pressure under which rotary
airlocks typically operate. Standard valve sizes are 8, 10, 12, and 15-inches,
offering capacity ranging from 0.19 to 1.76 cu. ft. /revolution. The body is
welded carbon or stainless steel, and its outboard bearings are easily
serviced and regreasable.
An optional high temperature model is available, equipped with specially
packaged bearings that are insulated from the valve body.
