Rotary Metering Flow Valve

FOR FLOW CONTROL OF PULVERIZED MATERIALS

Application: Flow control gates provide an accurate means of flow control and positive shut-off of pulverized material
from storage silos and feed bins. Four different sizes provide a range of control from complete shut-off
up to 20,000 ft3/hour. Units are available for electric or air operation.

• Positive seal
Felt Seal
• Wiping action to clean roller
Multi-Location Actuators • Easy installation
Manual Override • Disengage actuator for emergency closure
Wear Protector • Virtually no seal maintenance required

Typical Applications
The rotary metering flowgate can control pulverized materials passing 35 mesh.
Materials typically handled are:
• Cement raw meal • Soda ash • Clay
• Finish cement • Talc • Bentonite
• Fly ash • Resins • Hydrated lime
• Limestone • Ground ores

OPERATION

The flow control gate is an element of the Airslide® (pictured at right). It consists
of an upper chamber (A) - which is the conveying chamber and the plenum (B)
- which is supplied with fluidizing air. A fabric permeable to air divides the upper
and lower chambers. A roller shaped gate is placed within the upper chamber.
The roller is sealed by an exchangeable felt gasket and includes an adjustable
aperture for the flow-through of bulk materials. The function of the gate is dust
tight cut-off of a silo discharge and infinitely controlled discharge of pulverized
material from silos or feed bins.
Rotating the roller in one direction will close the silo discharge opening. When
rotating the roller in the opposite direction, the adjustable aperture will control
the flow of material. By rotating the roller, it is possible to vary the cross section
of the aperture thus controlling the flow rate.
