MD with Quick-Clean RotorRail™
Rotary Valve for Metering, Feeding and Airlock ApplicationsTool-less, single-step access to rotor and internal surfaces; simplifying cleaning, validation, and inspection.
Features & Benefits:
- Tool-less, single-step access to rotor and internal surfaces; simplifying cleaning, validation, and inspection.
- RotorRail™ feature maintains rotor and endplate alignment during dis-assembly; ensures fast and accurate rotor and endplate re-alignment during re-assembly.
- Available in 7 heights, from 10 5/8"H to 18 3/8"H; and 7 flange diameters from 4" to 15".
- CNC-machined components and housing provide precision tolerances; eliminates axial shaft movement, extends maintenance cycles.
- Outboard bearing design protects bearings in high-temperature and high-PSIG applications; removes bearings from direct path of damaging contaminants.
- Easily manages pressure differentials up to 15 PSIG.
- Excellent performance in high-temperature applications up to 500°F.
- 8-vane rotor with beveled tips and sides.
- Direct-drive motor package.
