Air Lock is a critical component of pneumatic conveying systems. It regulates the controlled flow of granular, powdered, and bulk materials.
It is commonly used in silos, bunkers, cyclones, mixers, and chillers. The air lock allows material transfer while preventing air leakage between zones operating under pressure, vacuum, or gravity.
By maintaining an air seal between different system sections, it ensures efficient operation of pneumatic conveying lines and prevents loss of pressure or vacuum.
