Solves Plugging Problems
The Rotoscoop Airlock Feeder is specially designed to handle wet, sticky materials such as filter cakes, wet crystals or powders, pastes, and sludges. This feeder solves the problems caused by wet, sticky feeds plugging the feeder. Fumes or vapors from a reactor can also cause dry free-flowing materials to become moist and build up on an airlock, so that the process has to be stopped to clean the airlock. This feeder can solve the problem of slight, gradual build-up causing reduced capacity.
Accurate Feeding
The rotating cleaning blades are synchronized to sweep every pocket on each revolution to assure that the pockets of the feeder will remain free of material build-up. This feeder is able to obtain accuracies as fine as ½%, depending on the material.
