Klean-In-Place
The Klean-In-Place® rotary airlock valves are specially designed for applications where frequent cleaning, sanitizing or inspection of the bulk handling system is required and minimum downtime is critical. They are also ideal for batch systems where regular cleaning between cycles is required. The valves need no tools to unscrew the release handles and remove the headplate. Four slide bars with linear bearings, provide maximum support for the rotor. The rotor and headplate can be pulled out and the valve can be thoroughly cleaned, sanitized and inspected. Re-assembly is quick and simplified as no special tools are required.
