What is a Rotary Airlock Valve Capacity?

A rotary airlock valve capacity is the total amount of product that a rotary feeder can move through an opening per unit of time. It is a crucial parameter in the design and operation of rotary airlock valves, ensuring efficient and accurate material handling.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ C = \frac{100}{2} \div \left( \frac{85}{100} \right) \div 50 \approx 1.18 \]

The rotary airlock valve capacity would be approximately 1.18.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ C = \frac{200}{3} \div \left( \frac{90}{100} \right) \div 60 \approx 1.23 \]

The rotary airlock valve capacity would be approximately 1.23.
