Schenck Process, a market leader in applied measuring technology, with offices located in the US, has released the new stainless steel Global Cleanable Airlock (GCA), aimed for use in applications where dry, raw or finished products are being handled in the process and where inspection or system clean-out are required, such as food or pet food applications.
Two models of the GCA consist of a standard and a demountable unit. The standard model is a round inlet, round outlet rotary valve that incorporates seals and product contact surfaces that meet food safety requirements. The demountable unit is designed with a rail system that simplifies removal of the endplate/rotor assembly from the housing, providing access to the internal valve cavity, rotor pockets, and all other product contact areas for quick and easy cleaning.
