The Young Industries, Inc. Model “SE” (Side Entry) Rotary Valve is an Airlock Feeder Valve with an offset inlet. With this arrangement, the rotor pockets fill approximately 40% which prevents the pellets or chips from clipping or jamming the valve. The Model “SE” valve is recommended when material needs to be metered from a silo or hopper having a head of material above the outlet. The Model “SE” Rotary Valve air or gas leakage is the lowest in the industry.
