High-Temperature Sealed Airlock Valve for Kilns, Furnaces & Bulk Hoppers

The YCD-HG Square Unloader is a high-temperature rotary airlock valve engineered to meter and discharge bulk solids from hoppers, baghouses, and storage silos operating under challenging thermal and pressure conditions. Built with reinforced cast housings, precision-machined 6- to 8-vane rotors, and graphite/PTFE double sealing, it maintains a 98% airlock integrity with gas leakage held below 0.25%. With temperature resistance reaching up to 400°C, it provides continuous dust and powder extraction at high-heat collection points across cement kilns, metallurgy plants, and chemical manufacturing lines.

YCD-HG-Square Unloader Installation Method

  1. Ensure a clean, level surface on the hopper or  outlet.

  2. Align the square flange of the unloader with the system outlet.

  3. Use the provided bolt holes to secure the unit  tightly.

  4. Connect the rotary actuator or motor to the  power supply following control specifications.

  5. Test rotation speed and sealing integrity before  full operation.

Pro Tip: Always install the airlock valve vertically to guarantee consistent discharge flow and avoid material backflow.

How It Works

The YCD-HG-Square Unloader operates on the rotary airlock principle. As the rotor turns, each pocket receives a measured quantity of material from the inlet. When it rotates, the material is sealed off from the air pressure differential and discharged at the outlet. This ensures continuous, regulated flow of material without air loss or dust leakage.
