Kice airlocks get more sizes

Airlock Kice has significantly expanded the sizes available for its VJX Rotary Airlock, which can be used as a retrofit on pneumatic conveying equipment for resin handling. The drop-through, in-board bearing and seal cartridges are designed for easier maintenance and replacement of seals and bearings. Kice says that compared to competing products, the design can withstand higher operating pressures without maintenance, which reduces downtime and overall operating cost.

What’s new? Several sizes introduced earlier this year: 18 inches (rotor size) by 12 inches by 12 inches (inlet and outlet sizes); 18 by 14 by 14; 20 by 12 by 12; 20 by 15 by 15; 24 by 15 by 15; 24 by 20 by 20.

Benefits Greater versatility. With the additional sizes, the VJX is applicable with more sizes of conveying equipment.
