The Vacu-Valve® Platypus
and Armadillo Dust Valves are the
Original, Low Cost Solution In Powder Handling
Aerodyne®, a division of Abanaki Corporation, announces the Vacu-Valve®
Platypus and Armadillo, some of the lowest-cost,
lowest-maintenance dust collector valves
available. The Vacu-Valve 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 valve requires no
lubrication, requires no power source, and has no
controls. It is 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.
