Rotary Airlock Repair FAQ

How do I know whether to repair or replace a rotary airlock valve?

If the valve body is still stable and the main issue is seal wear, bearing wear or minor clearance change, repair or rebuild may be enough. If capacity, pressure, material abrasion or hygiene requirements have changed, replacement is usually safer.

What information is needed for a rebuild quotation?

Please provide valve photos, flange dimensions, rotor size, material name, bulk density, capacity, temperature, pressure difference and the current problem such as leakage, jamming or abnormal noise.

Can FUWEI help check rotary valve dimensions?

Yes. FUWEI can compare existing dimensions with the required capacity and recommend a suitable rotary airlock feeder, repair plan or replacement model. See the Rotary Valve Sizing Calculator & Dimensions page for selection data.
