The ZXD rotary valve features a large inlet designed to handle high-capacity material flow efficiently.

Blow-through valve for powders

The ZXD Rotary Valve is engineered to optimize the feeding of bulk materials into pneumatic conveying systems, boasting a large inlet designed to handle high capacities efficiently. The upswept blow-through channel was designed for optimal pocket sweeping which is significant important when handling products with poor flowing characteristics. Capable of operating at pressures of up to 1.5 barg (21 psi), this innovative valve ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial applications. Notably, the ZXD Rotary Valve can operate without the need for leakage gas venting, effectively saving investment cost and allowing operation for sanitary applications. This combination of features makes the ZXD Rotary Valve an essential component for industries requiring efficient and reliable bulk material handling solutions.

Unique Geometry

The ZXD Rotary Valve stands out for its exceptional performance, driven by the innovative forced emptying of the chamber and the unique geometry of its blow-through channel, which ensures a low pressure drop. This design not only enhances efficiency but also ensures optimal material flow. The valve is equipped with a premium sealing system featuring double shaft seals and a labyrinth ring for effective gas purging, which significantly reduces the risk of leakage. Additionally, the outboard bearings and a dedicated dropout opening, separate from the product area, facilitate easy detection of gasket failures, ensuring reliable operation. For powder applications, the ZXD incorporates a 10-chamber open-end D-Rotor, designed with a specialized blow-through channel that maximizes pocket sweeping, further enhancing its capability to handle bulk materials with precision and efficiency.
