The Meyer Pellet Valve is designed for plastic pellet conveying, unloading and feeding applications without shearing the product.

No shearing of material is accomplished by using a side inlet with an “integral curved slide gate” to control flow of the material evenly across the open rotor pocket. The slide gate is manually adjustable (positioning dependent upon the angle of repose of the material being handled) permitting an even flow of pellets into each rotor pocket. The slide gate is sealed at the inlet with high grade packing material.
The inlet of the Pellet Valve includes a “V” type throat assisting the non-shearing of particles as each rotor blade closes past the inlet. The housing also incorporates provisions for a clean out port at the inlet and a housing vent connection when required by the application.
An outboard bearing with available gas purge connections in the packing area is standard.
Basic construction is all stainless steel housing, headplates, and rotor with round flange connections. Sizes 12x12, 14x14 and 16x16 matching Meyer rotary valve displacements. Chain driven with combination motor/reducer, base and guard.
Primary use is as a feeder/airlock for discharge from hoppers/bins, receivers and cyclones into a pneumatic conveying line. Example: Rail Car Unloading from rail site to process line receiver.
