Heavy Duty Abrasion-Resistant
The ceramic version starts with any of our Heavy-Duty rotary airlock valves. We bond ceramic tiles to the inside of the cast iron housing and on the rotor tips. The DuraKast units are completely cast out of a hard chrome material suitable for applications with higher pressure differentials. The DuraKast units also have Stellite™ on the rotor tips for extended abrasion resistance. Both styles offer extended life over that of a standard cast iron rotary valve by as much as 6 times.
Maximum Operating Temperature: 250°F
Materials: Dry Free-Flowing Extremely Abrasive Particles
Power – Fly Ash, Coal
Cement – Kiln Dust, Raw and Finished
