Precision Machined Heavy Duty Rotary Airlock Feeders
All housings and end plates on Smoot Co.'s Precision-Aire Rotary Airlock Feeders are cast from high quality grey iron. They are available in 6 standard models in up to 9 different sizes. Some sizes are also available in 304 stainless steel NiHard.
Rotors are fabricated from heavy steel, the vanes welded onto the shaft and then machined. The use of steel prevents vanes from breaking off when a foreign object becomes lodged between the rotor and housing. Shafts are large diameter for minimum deflection under load. The bearings are oversized with respect to the load to be carried and factory lubricated for life. Precision machining to close tolerances keeps internal clearances to a minimum, therefore increasing maximum efficiency and reducing blow by.
All of Smoot Co.'s standard models can be fitted with specialized rotors, bearings, or drives and painted and finished to meet the customer's specific needs. Also available is a Dust Collector Duty model specifically designed for dust collection applications.
Smoot Co.'s years of experience in handling a wide range of products in all types of environments allows them to provide their customers with airlocks and rotor designs best suited to their needs.
