Airlock: Scale Valves for Weighing Applications

SV-A:

• Airlock range of Scale Valves (SV-A) are designed to divert Bulk Solids in Pneumatic Transfer to such equipment as Bulk Storage Bins, Scale Hoppers, Weigh Hoppers and Process Hoppers.

• It is designed very compact with optimal sealing to reduce the process loss.

• Scale Valves are widely used in Weighing Applications in Bulk Solids Handling Industries such as Bakery and Flour Industries, etc.

• Available in Cast Iron and Stainless Steel in various sizes.

How to use this video

This footage from Airlock is connected in PBV with Valves & Gates & Airlocks, Chemicals, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals. It is most useful for examining the visible process sequence, equipment interfaces, access and material route. A video cannot confirm conditions that are outside the frame or were not measured.

Separate direct observation from commentary. Record what the equipment does, where material enters and leaves, which components move and how an operator interacts with the system. Treat capacity, accuracy, containment, energy, certification and service life as manufacturer claims unless the page provides attributable test evidence.

Engineering questions raised by the footage

• What material, pressure, temperature and differential pressure apply?
• Is the component feeding, isolating, diverting or only stopping flow?
• Which leakage, wear, cleanability and particle damage limits matter?
• What safe state is required after loss of actuation or blockage?

Use representative material data when answering these questions. Particle size distribution, bulk density, cohesion, moisture, abrasion, temperature and hazard properties can change the response of equipment that looks identical in a video.

PBV entity context

The relationships below connect the video with existing PBV topic pages. They support navigation and technical discovery. A relationship does not mean that the featured equipment is suitable for every application inside that topic.

Evidence boundary

The video and imported description support only the product, process and company statements they explicitly present. PBV does not infer an unshown specification or independent certification. Before selection, request the current data sheet, scope of supply, operating envelope, test method, maintenance requirements and exclusions for the offered configuration.

For a project review, compare the video with drawings and written process data. Confirm the upstream supply, downstream receiver, utilities, controls, cleaning method, safe isolation and response to credible faults. This turns visual discovery into a testable engineering inquiry.
