ACS Valves designs, engineers, and manufactures rotary valves for metering, feeding, and airlock in bulk material processing and pneumatic conveying applications. ACS Valves products are sold through a global network of sales engineers and supported by a corporate staff of applications engineers and customer services technicians.
Rotary Valves
MD Series with Quick-Clean RotorRail
- Tool-less, single-step access to rotor and internal surfaces; simplifying cleaning, validation, and inspection. RotorRail feature maintains rotor and endplate alignment during dis-assembly; ensures fast and accurate rotor and endplate re-alignment during re-assembly.
- Available in 4 heights, from 10 5/8″H to 18 3/8″H; and 4 flange diameters from 6″ to 15″.
- CNC-machined components and housing provide precision tolerances; eliminates axial shaft movement, extends maintenance cycles.
- Outboard bearing design protects bearings in high-temperature and high-PSIG applications; removes bearings from direct path of damaging contaminants.
- Easily manages pressure differentials up to 20 PSIG.
- Excellent performance in high-temperature applications up to 500°F.
- 8-vane rotor with beveled tips and sides.
DR-S Series
Features/Benefits:
- Pre-fit Performance™ housings provide all of the in-use advantages built into every ACS valve, plus the assurance of precise alignment and fast installation when replacing competitive valves.
- Available in 3 heights, from 12″H to 18 1/4″H; and 3 flange sizes from 7 5/8″H to 11 1/4″H. Valve housing cast in North America; ensures superior strength and solidification of housing’s metallurgy.
- CNC-machined components and housing provide precision tolerances; eliminates axial shaft movement, extends maintenance cycles.
- Outboard bearing design protects bearings in high-temperature and high-PSIG applications; removes bearings from direct path of damaging contaminants.
- Large shaft diameter eliminates rotor deflection; reduces rotor tip wear and bearing seal leakage.
- Easily manages pressure differentials up to 15 PSIG.
- Excellent performance in high-temperature applications up to 750°F.
- Cast iron housing, beveled tips and sides on rotor.
Aero-Flow Series
- For high bulk density materials; a proprietary, dual-induction endplate design introduces pressurized air from both endplates into rotor pockets to provide highly efficient, air-assisted material introduction.
- Available in 4 heights, from 17 1/2″H to 21 1/8″H; and 4 flange sizes from 6 5/8″ x 6 3/4″ to 25 1/4 x 12″.
- Rotary Valves housing cast in North America; ensures superior strength and solidification of housing’s metallurgy.
- CNC-machined components and housing provide precision tolerances; eliminates axial shaft movement, extends maintenance cycles.
- Air-sealed shaft extends bearing life; reduces maintenance.
- Rotary Valves housing vent port.
- Easily manages pressure differentials up to 15 PSIG.
- Excellent performance in high-temperature applications up to 250°F.
- Cast iron housing. 10-vane rotor with beveled tips and sides.
Sanitary CI with Quick-Clean RotorRail
Features/Benefits:
- RotorRail feature maintains rotor and endplate alignment during dis-assembly; ensures fast and accurate rotor and endplate re-alignment during re-assembly.
- Run-Clean™ features include: angled surfaces, rounded edges, and factory-applied internal coatings to reduce material buildup in the housing during operation.
- Excellent performance in high-temperature applications up to 500°F.
- Available in 7 heights, from 10″H to 44″H; and 7 square-flange sizes from 6″ to 30″.
- Rotary Valves for Metering, Feeding and Airlock Applications
- Tool-less, single-step access to rotor and internal surfaces; simplifying cleaning, validation, and inspection.
- CNC-machined components and housing provide precision tolerances; eliminates axial shaft movement, extends maintenance cycles.
- 304 or 316 stainless steel valve housing, cast in North America, ensures superior housing solidification and metallurgy; eliminates pits and dimples where contaminants could accumulate.
BT Series
The BT Series valves ensure optimal bulk density and throughput of hard-to-convey material; a return-side vent vents leaked air, maximizing air flow through the rotor, improving material flow. Features/Benefits:
- 12-vane rotary valves and return-side vent port design significantly reduce air leakage and ensure optimal bulk density and material feed efficiency of hard-to-convey materials.
- Steep-angled inlet flange aids material infeed; improves material flow performance.
- Available in 2 heights, 16.14″H and 18.50″H; and 2 flange diameters, 8″ to 10″.
- Valve housing cast in North America; ensures superior strength and solidification of housing’s metallurgy.
- CNC-machined components and housing provide precision tolerances; eliminates axial shaft movement, extends maintenance cycles.
- Outboard bearing design protects bearings in high-temperature and high-PSIG applications; removes bearings from direct path of damaging contaminants.
- Easily manages pressure differentials up to 20 PSIG.
- Excellent performance in high-temperature applications up to 500°F.
