Although this type of valve is used predominantly in the timber industry, it is also suitable for metering coarse grained and fibrous bulk materials. The bulk material must have good conveying and flow properties. Because both the rotors and housings are precision-finished to the narrowest tolerances, the cutting rotary valve made by Barl features the highest possible degree of sealing integrity. Adjustable end plates are as standard as the outside bearing.
The cutting rotary valves made by Barl are characterised by their extremely robust construction. In spite of this, attention was paid at the design stage to make sure the product is cut only as much as necessary and as little as possible. The knives are hardened and the exchangeable rotor plates are made of wear proof material.
The cutting rotary valves are naturally also available in both pressure-shock-proof and flame-propagation-proof design.
