Akyurek Cyclonic separation is a method of removing particulates from an air without the use of filters, through vortex separation. Rotational effects and gravity used to separate mixtures of solids from air. Akyurek designs and offers most suitable model of cyclone for your needs. As f all our products stability, Functionality, Durability, Reliability applied to our Cyclones during designing processes.

AIRLOCK VALVE

Application

Akyurek’s air-lock valve type ALV-52 is used for discharge of dust and other separated particles from systems working with with vacuum or pressure. It is dust proof and is used as a pressure block between a cyclone and a dust collecting bag. In connection with Akyurek’s dust collecting Centrifugal Fans the air-lock valve is mounted between the bottom outlet of the cyclone and the dust bag, where it ensures a uniform and continuous discharge of dust and other particles, and at the same time minimises the air escaping through the outlet into the dust bag.

Design

The air-lock valve is manufactured from galvanised plate and is complete with a 200 mm (8”) steel roller with 6 radial rubber vanes on the shaft. The rotor is carried by ball bearings and its speed does not notmally exceed 40 RPMs. The air-lock valve is lubricated for life and is designed for continuous operation.
