The Sunco Blow-Thru Valve has been specifically designed to meet the rugged demands of the pneumatic conveying industry.  It is a natural extension of the Rotary Valve in that both are used to regulate the flow of dry powders, dusts and granular products, while maintaining an airlock condition.

However, the Blow-Thru Valve offers distinct advantages in that it introduces high pressure conveying air through the valve body and rotor pocket, ensuring a high efficiency throughput with a low effective pressure drop. 

To achieve this, our design ensures that more blades are in contact with the valve body for longer periods, which results in less air leakage.  In addition, by blowing through the rotor, each rotor pocket is efficiently emptied.
