As low as $3,159.00
Motorized air valve maintains an airtight seal with your cyclonic dust collector while automatically feeding dust and debris into hoppers or transfer blowers for highly efficient handling of bulk waste. Process up to 36 gallons (4.9 ft³) of dust and debris per minute*. Available in single-phase and three-phase power configurations up to 600V. Requires wall-mounted system or large, telescoping stand to accommodate extra height i.e. not compatible with 55-gallon system stands.

Automated Bulk Waste Disposal Results in Significant Savings for Larger, Commercial Shops

Rotary Air Locks provide operators with the most economical, productive, and efficient way to handle bulk dust and debris, making them ideal for cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers, and other commercial shops generating high volumes of waste material.

Our Air Locks use a high-efficiency helical drive, US-made 0.25HP hollow shaft gear motor to control the flow of discharge material from the dust collector via a rubber padded wheel that rotates at a preset speed. The airtight seal with the collector is maintained at all times, ensuring peak airflow performance while waste is continuously deposited into open bins, industrial hoppers, or transfer blower systems.

Features & Benefits:

  • Significantly reduces shop downtime and labor costs for emptying bins
  • Processes up to 36 gallons (4.9 ft³) of dust and debris per minute*
  • Limits dust exposure within the work environment
  • Helical drive US-Made motor (available in 220V, 208-230V, 460V, or 600V) is compact, durable, and quiet
  • Valve constructed from fully seam-welded, cold rolled steel with powder coat finish
  • Long lifespan rubber paddle wipers can be easily replaced by the operator
  • 10" dia. flange ideal for use with our Direct Drive and High Vacuum dust collection systems (with custom clean-out cone)**
  • Can be used with any size waste container (call for info)
  • Operates at a slower rotational speed than competitive products for:
    Reduced energy usage
    Quieter operation
    Far less wear and tear on Air Lock seals
    All without impacting the flow of dust and debris through the system!

* Air locks work best when not overloaded i.e. without large surges of material. Usable capacity varies with material type and density. Be more conservative when sizing the system when collecting large and/or fluffy materials. Contact our system experts for assistance with sizing your system.

** Air Locks require a wall-mounted system or one with a large, telescoping stand to accommodate the added height of the rotary valve i.e. they are not compatible with 55-gallon stand models.

How is the filter cleaned if it doesn't have the typical hand crank?
The use of hand cranks that "beat" the filter can damage the filter's pleating material overtime, so our systems are not built with such mechanisms. Click "Read More" to read about recommended filter cleaning techniques.
What do I need to know about NFPA regulations?
Fire protection regulations are a complex and ever-changing set of rules that differ from facility to facility. However, all of Oneida Air Systems' dust collector are NFPA Compliance Ready and we provide best practices and guidance for assisting customers - read our NFPA Reference Guide for more information.
Is it normal for my dust collector to run hot?
Yes. All motors generate heat, which is why it is essential to have proper ventilation around the motor for cooling.
