Designed specifically for sanitary applications, such as food processing, ACS Valves Run-Clean Series rotary airlock valves offer multiple features that reduce material buildup inside the valve housing that can occur during operation. These features include: angled surfaces and rounded edges inside the housing to eliminate dead zones and ensure optimal material flow; factory-applied internal surface coatings, such as tungsten, to prevent surface wear imperfections where material can buildup; glandless, sleeve-style shaft seals that prevent contaminant migration into the housing; and stainless steel housings cast in North America to ensure superior strength in the composition and solidification of the housing’s metallurgy.
