Wood, Pulp and Paper

The pulp and paper industry deals with a range of materials that can vary in size, moisture content, and abrasiveness. A high-quality rotary airlock valve ensures smooth, uninterrupted material flow through pneumatic conveying systems, which is vital to keep production lines moving and avoid costly delays.

In both pneumatic and mechanical material handling systems, maintaining the right pressure is crucial. A well-functioning airlock valve prevents air leakage, ensures proper sealing, and keeps the system running efficiently while preventing contamination or loss of material.

Wood chips, sawdust, and other raw materials can be abrasive, putting a lot of strain on equipment. Choosing a rotary airlock valve designed for durability and wear resistance is key to extending the life of your equipment and reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

The wood, pulp, and paper industries deal with significant dust generation, which poses safety risks and can lead to regulatory violations if not properly managed. The right rotary airlock valve is essential for controlling dust emissions and ensuring a safe, compliant workplace.

Downtime in the wood, pulp, and paper industries can be expensive. An airlock valve designed to handle specific material types and operating conditions reduces maintenance needs and operational disruptions, helping you save on repairs and ensure consistent production.

Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of fly ash handling, these valves act as critical airlock transition points, preventing air loss and ensuring steady material flow under varying pressures. They are built for high temperatures and pressure differentials, offering reliable performance with minimal maintenance.

The W.E.A.R. Valve is ideal for handling abrasive materials like fly ash. Its unique design and wear-resistant coatings ensure extended equipment life while reducing the impact of abrasiveness on internal components.

The Meyer Industrial HDXP Heavy-Duty, NFPA design valves are custom-applied units tailored to your specific application. Meyer engineers review the application and evaluate the design based on KST values for the material, temperature, pressure, and ambient conditions. Units can be built in cast iron, stainless, and cast steel to match the specific NFPA requirements.
