The Tough, Hard Wearing Airlock or Metering Solution
The Rotary Floating Shoe or RFS Valves form an integral part of the Anval range and are specifically designed for handling limestone, clinker, coal, fly ash and other highly abrasive materials in cement industries.
Rotary Floating Shoe Valves
RFS Series Valves, composed of a cast iron body with bolt on side plates and a webbed rotor, can be used in both positive and negative pressure applications. These valves designed to create additional sealing performance through the use of “Floating Shoe” to transport even the most abrasive material and still have a prolonged lifecycle when compared to its rivals.
- Ultra heavy duty cast iron construction
- Ceramic embedded rotor
- Adjustable, hardened SG iron shoe
Ceramic embedded rotor
The testing conducted by the University of Western Australia (UWA) on RFS valves has proven that the ceramic embedded rotor with the hardened SG iron shoe, efficiently traverse all manner of materials with a minimum wear, extended life, lower running costs, minimized maintenance requirements, and also has proven its ability to outperform effectively in any hard-wearing environment.
Benefits of Floating Shoe
- The floating shoe creates a physical seal with the rotor and minimizes the leakage rate.
- Minimum maintenance cost.
- A thin lubricating layer formed during the operation of the valve reduces wear
- Uniform wearing is achieved with the help of floating shoe design.
- Running costs are minimized.
