Aerodyne Announces The Vacu-Valve Platypus Dust Valve As An Original, Low-Cost Solution In Powder Handling
CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aerodyne®, a division of Abanaki Corporation, announces the new Vacu-Valve® Platypus, one of the lowest-cost, lowest-maintenance dust collector valves available. The Vacu-Valve Platypus operates as a constant discharge valve for dust collectors, hoppers, cyclones and other equipment operating under negative pressure. Its unique duck bill design allows it to dispense free-flowing material continuously. The low-maintenance Platypus requires no lubrication or power source and has no controls. It's ideal for "keep empty" dust collection units and is available in carbon steel or stainless steel versions. The replaceable duck bill sleeves are available in neoprene, viton or white nitrile, making the unit suitable for general use, high-temperature or food grade applications.
Typical industries that use the Vacu-Valves include foundry, mining, cement, pharmaceutical, dry foods, plastics, chemical and manufacturing.
