Rotary Air Locks by MAC Equipment

Reliability, Strength and Quality

The MAC collection of airlocks began with the Heavy-Duty (HD) Airlock over 30 years ago. Since that time the airlock line has grown to include a complete line of rotary airlocks designed to be highly efficient, rugged and reliable.

These airlocks are suitable for vacuum dense phase, dilute phase, and gravity discharge systems. All MAC airlocks have guaranteed reliability when applied properly . Airlock performance depends directly on the material being handled. 

Protech Engineers will work with you to determine the best valve for your application.

MAC Cast Air Locks

Multi Duty (MD) - Hardened precision machined gray iron housing and endplates. Abrasion resistance Class 40 iron and the reliability of the TS4 Seals. - Specifications

Heavy Duty (HD) - Features a round inlet to square outlet. The HD is ideally suited for low and medium differential pressure systems, gravity or volumetric feeder discharge devices. - Specifications

High Efficiency (HE) - Features two TS4 seals and removable inspection port.  Specially designed inlet to reduce shear and evenly distribute wear. - Specifications

Convey Valve (CV) - Heavy Duty airlock with integrated pneumatic blow through connection build into the valve specifically for vacuum or pressure pneumatic conveying applications. - Specifications

Drop-Thru Rotary (RV) - Inboard bearings provide the maximum shaft support and minimize rotor deflection.  Double opposable lip seals protect the product from bearing contact. - Specifications

Also available with outboard bearings and shaft braded seals for total bearing protections. - Specifications

Side Entry (SEA) - Side entry airlock offers and offset inlet for very hard palletized or chip materials to reduce product shear. - Specifications

MAC Fabricated Air Locks

Fabricated Square (FS) - Lower pressure design for dust collection applications.  Flexible wiper style rotor tips are standard  - Specifications - Also available FR Model with round connections - Specifications

Wood and Grain (WG) - Lower pressure airlock designed for dust collection and particulate handling in the wood and grain industries. Flexible wiper style rotor tips are standard  - Specifications

MAC offers other valves for specific applications including quick clean, high pressure, high temperature and other applications. Contact Protech Equipment for selection of these valves.
