Feeder Metric Series (Airlock)

Feeder Metric Series (Airlock)

 (28)
Body
The Metric feeder is ruggedly constructed to maintain roundness. It can be furnished with either a closed or open end rotor. The throat inlet is angled to induce a shearing action for smoother operation. An optional port is available and extends the full length of the body. It may be used as an inspection panel and clean-out port. The inlet flange easily adapts to a square or a standard 125 Ib. ASA flange on Models 150, 300, 700, 2500.

Rotor
Two basic designs are available - open or closed end. All rotors have eight (8) vanes with a minimum of four (4) vanes sealing at all times to minimize leakage. Rotors can be furnished with beveled blades and hard-coated tips as required.

Open End Rotor

Feeder DA Rotary (Airlock)

 (3)
General
The DA Feeder introduces material into the conveying system at highest volumetric efficiency when material flow into the feeder is controlled to permit free venting. The feeder may be used under a head of material when appropriate aeration is provided to create a path for relief of the reverse air flow. In operation, air enters a single inlet and passes into the rotor pocket through two (2) ducts integrally cast in the end plates, assuring complete fluidization and discharge. High efficiency is attained through the combination of gravity and air-sweeping of the fluidized material into the conveying line. This design principle assists greatly in discharging materials which have a tendency of hanging up in the rotor ...


Open Te Rotary (Airlock)

Feeder TE Rotary (Airlock)

 (28)
General
When installed in a pressure conveying system, the use of (optional) Lantern Rings and (standard) Air Purge is recommended when fine powdery material is being conveyed to prevent contamination of packing and bearing.
