WHAT IS THE ATEX AIR LOCK AND WHERE IS IT USED?

Air lock with its other name is attached, generally used in pneumatic transfer systems (pressure and vacuum) to separate the solid fluid product in the form of powder or granules and the air, fin It is the name given to a mechanical device with a flexible structure. It is widely used especially under filters and cyclones. While diameter and rotation speed determine the capacity of the device, blade tolerances are the most important factor determining the efficiency of the equipment . In addition, air locks can be used as dosers and as proportional unloaders at the bottom of the silo.ex air lock



If we briefly define the multiple functions of the capsel, air lock, rotary valve, which is mentioned by many names, it mixes the air with the powder in the form of solid fluid and gravity It can be explained that it separates the product and the compressed air from each other by making use of the force of The Air Lock can show different blade structures, tolerances, rotational speeds depending on the type of process and the product to be used in the process. The Air Lock can also act as a breaker, depending on the nature of the material to be transported. It can work in conjunction with equipment whose main function is shredder. Air Lock - Cell Wheel ST37, Carbon Steel and AISI-304 AISI-316 stainless, Hardox, Ni-Hard. Air Lock bearing types differ according to sealing elements, shaft seal, mechanical seal, seal and process. Air Lock - Cell Wheel; Internal Rotors Bladed, Rounded type, Adjustable blade type, Scraper, Polyamide, can be composed of options such as. As an extra, ATEX version air locks are also included in our production program according to the process needs.

Rotary Valves ( Airlocks)  are available with square or round inlet and outlet flanges. Housing can be fabricated out of sheet material or cast. Common materials are cast Iron, carbon
steel, 304 SS, 316 SS, and other materials. Rotary valve , airlock feeders are often available in standard and heavy duty models, the difference being the head plate and bearing
configuration. Heavy duty models use an outboard bearing in which the bearings are moved out away from the head plate. Housing inlet and discharge configurations are
termed drop-thru or side entry. Different wear protections are available such as hard chrome or ceramic plating on the inner housing surfaces. Grease and air purge fittings
are often provided to prevent contaminants from entering the packing seals. Rotary Valve - Airlocks - Star Feeder may be made of ST37 Carbon Steel and AISI-304 AISI-316 Stainless Steel. Bedding types of the air locks may be mechanical sealing and felt, again depending on the hot process.

EDUCTOR FOR  ATEX AIR LOCKS

There are some processes that although the air lock is used in the pneumatic transfer system, the pipe inlet-outlet orientation may cause you trouble during maintenance. . The removal of pipes during the said maintenance is not a highly desirable event. In plants like this, a normal cell wheel can be used instead of a blow thru air lock (added), and an apparatus that will have a venturi effect is attached to the bottom. Thus, the lines connected to the system are not disconnected while maintaining the airlock. This gives you flexibility in the process.

ROTARY VALVE APPLICATION
Rotary Valves (Rotary Feeders) are widely used in the unloading and dosing of powder and granular materials in silos, hoppers, pneumatic conveying system, bag filters, cyclones and other equipment, in a measured and reliable manner, allowing a detailed volumetric control in transport systems or processing.

  Bulk Solids
Grains
Powder
Fine powder
Grease (only with special model)
Granules
Application procedures
Discharging
Metering
Feeding
Protective System

Operation
The bulk goods are fed into the rotary valve rotor via the inlet. This is made up of several chambers and divides the product flow into small partial flows. These partial quantities are fed into the downstream process via the outlet.

FOR atex AIR LOCKS WHAT IS LEAK AIR AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE SYSTEM?

This subject often causes misunderstandings and misuses. It should be noted that every airlock must have a rotation tolerance to turn. This means that there is a gap between the housing and the rotor. They are generally set to 0.15-.0.30mm in all factory-exit air locks. If the system will be pneumatically conveyed and the transported material is somewhat abrasive, this tolerance may increase over time. Increasing voids can cause problems with air boiling and bridging upwards from the airlock.
In order to avoid such situations, especially the leakage air must be directed in blow throught air locks. they can work under wear. Therefore, the direction of the leakage air and the direction of the airlock are important in all pneumatic transfer lines. Otherwise, even with a very small wear, the system will experience performance problems.
It is important to use blade thicknesses, high alloy steel blades, caps, rotational speeds, and routing of leaky air for air locks in processes that are likely to experience wear. it does. That's why the product selection should be paid attention in the first place.
