KLEAN-IN-PLACE II®: The Ultimate Sanitary Rotary Airlock Valve for Food, Dairy & Pharmaceutical Processing

December 2, 2025

In industries where precision, hygienic design, and operational efficiency are mission-critical, Meyer Industrial sanitary rotary airlock valves stand out as indispensable components. Engineered to control the flow of granular and powdered materials, these valves ensure consistent system performance while maintaining airtight separation between pressure zones, an essential requirement for any high-efficiency pneumatic conveying system.

How Rotary Airlock Valves Improve Pneumatic Conveyance

Rotary airlock valves act as airlock feeders, using a controlled rotating mechanism to discharge materials while preserving pressure integrity. This sealing action prevents air leakage, reduces energy consumption, and protects downstream equipment.

Key Performance Advantages

  • Stable airflow and pressure control
  • Consistent material discharge
  • Enhanced system efficiency and throughput
  • Reduced wear and mechanical stress
  • Improved product quality and processing accuracy

For facilities handling food ingredients, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, dairy powders, or sensitive materials, these advantages help maintain both product purity and regulatory compliance.

The KLEAN-IN-PLACE II®: Designed for Cleanliness, Access, and Efficiency

When frequent cleaning or sanitation is required, the Meyer Industrial KLEAN-IN-PLACE II® rotary airlock valve leads the industry. It’s engineered for quick access and fast turnaround during cleaning cycles, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

Engineered for Rapid Sanitation

The valve’s balanced 2-RAIL construction allows operators to easily:

  • Clean the rotor without removing it from the headplate
  • Slide components apart for fast access
  • Fully remove the rotor for complete washdown or inspection

This streamlined design ensures thorough sanitation while dramatically reducing maintenance time.

Built to Meet the Strictest Standards

The KLEAN-IN-PLACE II® is fully compliant with key sanitary and safety regulations, making it ideal for industries with stringent hygienic requirements.

Compliance Certifications

  • FDA
  • USDA
  • 3A Dairy
  • NFPA

These certifications ensure the valve is suitable for food processing, dairy production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemical industries

A Smarter Solution for Clean, Reliable Material Handling

Whether your priorities include tight pressure control, frequent cleaning cycles, or compliance with strict industry standards, Meyer Industrial’s sanitary rotary airlock valves offer a reliable and efficient solution. The KLEAN-IN-PLACE II® rotary airlock valve provides unmatched ease of cleaning, safety, and hygienic performance, making it a top choice for any sanitary bulk handling or pneumatic conveying system.
