Prevents shearing of material, as well as jamming of material in rotor clearances
EXPLORE IN THE 3D VIEWERInformation:
- Recommended for pneumatic conveying systems
- Vent port is used to release pressured air in the rotor pockets, which comes from the pneumatic conveying line below the valve
- Restricts inlet by approximately 50%
- Directs material into the pocket of the rotor
- Spool piece with wiper blade and vent port (capped)
