Discharge and metering rotary valve, for discharge of silos and/or feed into
pressure or vacuum conveying pipelines ; even for dust explosion
hazardous products
Advantages:
• Sturdy and less wear
• Cost-effective and low maintenance due to simple assembly
• Space-saving
• Gas-tight from outside
• Protection against spreading of dust explosions and effective flame trap
• Safety for operators, with a DMT certificate
Discharge
The basic function of pure discharging is executed by the well-known basic rotary valve: In the
housing the rotor is revolving by constant speed. Due to gravity the product comes out from
the container or the hopper from the top and falls in the chambers of the rotor. Due to the
revolving rotor the product is transported to the discharge opening, from where it again moves
down by gravity. The rotary valve itself does not affect the flow capacity of bulk solids. It
depends on the chamber volume, filling ratio and rotation speed.
Metering
The rotary valve for metering is characterised by a variable speed, e.g. using a variable-pitch
geared motor or a frequency converter drive. The metering is purely volumetric in such a case: A
specific volumetric flow per time unit is set as the desired value in dm ³/s or m³/h. It is however not
measured so that there is an undefined deviation between the desired and actual values.
The mass flow capacity is not measured and regulated, and therefore the term, "metering" is
actually incorrect in the strict sense; a constant and reproducible volumetric flow can however
be set.
The condition is, that
a) the density of bulk solids is always constant,
b) the rotor is always fed with the same filling ratio. This can be achieved, e.g. using an
agitator or a pneumatic discharge aid in the pre-hopper over the rotary valve,
c) the chambers are emptied completely.
Conditions:
The maximum particle size must be determined
depending on the pressure difference and other
product properties.
