Product catalog summary
Overview
This document provides technical specifications and applications for the Metering Rotary Valve Type S-LK, used for volumetric feeding and discharging of various bulk products across multiple industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing.

Specifications
The rotary valves are designed for handling powdery, granular, or coarse-grained materials. They are suitable for use as metering devices for drawing off materials from silos, bunkers, and bins, and for feeding downstream machines. The valves can handle grain sizes up to 2 mm, with special configurations available for smaller sizes.

Technical Data
  • Operating pressure: Standard up to 1.0 bar differential pressure.
  • Temperature: Standard up to 150°C, with special executions available up to 600°C.
  • Materials: Constructed from grey cast iron, Silumin, and stainless steel (1.4308/1.4541, 1.4408/1.4571), with other materials available upon request.
  • Housing: Cast with round inlet and outlet.
  • Rotor: Available with 8 or 12 compartments.
  • Sealing: Options include radial seal rings, stuffing boxes, air seal rings, and slide ring seals, which can be combined as necessary.

Performance
The document lists various models (S-150-DN 100 to S-400-DN 350) with their respective conveying capacities, dimensions, and weights. The valves are capable of handling bulk densities ranging from 0.5 kg/dm³ to 1.0 kg/dm³, with throughput capacities up to 60 m³/h or 45 t/h depending on the model.

Applications
These rotary valves are used in industries for feeding, crushing, screening, and mixing processes. They also serve as flame barriers and are available with ATEX certification for all zones, ensuring safety in explosive environments.
