Inlet Size Range

150mm to 350mm side-mounted inlet flanges with tri-clamp sanitary connections for integration with horizontal mixers and low-profile food processing equipment.

Pressure Rating

Differential pressure sealing up to 0.5 bar with food-grade PTFE shaft seals and side entry geometry optimized for hygienic food powder handling.

Temperature Range

Operating range from -10°C to 80°C for ambient and chilled food processing environments with horizontal material discharge configurations.

Blade Configuration

8-blade rotor with rounded edges, crevice-free construction, and CIP-compatible side entry pocket geometry for complete sanitation between product runs.

Industrial Applications

Used in horizontal mixer discharge, low-profile hopper feeding, and compact packaging line feed. Side entry design fits food plants with limited overhead clearance.

Application 1

Horizontal Mixer Discharge

Receives blended food powders directly from horizontal ribbon mixer outlets, providing airlock feeding into pneumatic conveying with minimal vertical space requirement.

Application 2

Low-Profile Hopper Feed

Feeds food ingredients from low-profile surge hoppers where overhead clearance prevents top-entry valve installation, maintaining hygienic transfer standards.

Application 3

Compact Packaging Line Feed

Provides metered feeding of food powders into packaging line pneumatic systems in space-constrained processing rooms with low ceiling heights.
