Aerodyne Announces The Vacu-Valve® Platypus Dust Valve as an Original,
Low-Cost Solution in Powder Handling
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Aerodyne®, a division of Abanaki Corporation, announces
the new Vacu-Valve® Platypus, one of the lowest-cost, lowest-maintenance dust
collector valves available. The Vacu-Valve Platypus operates as a constant
discharge valve for dust collectors, hoppers, cyclones and other equipment
operating under negative pressure. Its unique duck bill design allows it to
dispense free-flowing material continuously. The low- maintenance Platypus
requires no lubrication or power source and has no controls. It's ideal for
"keep empty" dust collection units and is available in carbon steel or
stainless steel versions. The replaceable duck bill sleeves are available in
neoprene, viton or white nitrile, making the unit suitable for general use,
high-temperature or food grade applications.
Typical industries that use the Vacu-Valves include foundry, mining,
cement, pharmaceutical, dry foods, plastics, chemical and manufacturing.
Aerodyne Vacu-Valves have been efficiently and economically emptying
particulate from dust collectors and bag houses for more than 40 years.
Aerodyne offers a range of valves, including rotary, double dump, slide gate,
knife and screw-type valves. Aerodyne dust collection systems have been used
in a wide range of industries since 1949. The material-handling valves are one
of the longest lasting and durable in the powder and bulk handling industry.
Now part of the Abanaki family of products, Aerodyne supplies custom-designed
(turnkey) pollution control systems as well as individual components for a
wide variety of applications. Headquartered in Cleveland Ohio, Abanaki has
served a global customer base in industries as diverse as iron and steel,
wastewater, paper, food processing, automotive, environmental remediation and

entrepreneurs founded the company that became Abanaki. Today, under the
corporate motto "Clean Our World™," Abanaki continues to address pollution in
industry through innovation, customer commitment and environmental stewardship
within its own operations. In January 2008, Abanaki purchased Aerodyne, a
