The Air Lock is a critical component used in pneumatic conveying and aspiration systems to transfer bulk materials while preserving the pressure balance between different sections of the process. Commonly installed beneath cyclones, jet filters, and dust collection equipment, it enables controlled product discharge while preventing unwanted air leakage.
The machine operates through a precision-engineered rotor equipped with multiple vanes that rotate inside a closely machined housing. As material enters the rotor pockets, it is transported to the discharge point while the air seal remains intact. This design allows continuous product flow while maintaining vacuum or pressure conditions within the conveying system.
In flour mills, semolina mills, feed plants, and grain processing facilities, Air Locks play an essential role in maintaining conveying performance, reducing product losses, and improving overall plant efficiency. Their robust construction and simple operating principle provide reliable operation even under demanding industrial conditions.
OZAN Milling Air Lock solutions are designed for long service life, low maintenance requirements, and seamless integration into modern pneumatic conveying networks.
