AIRLOCKS: STANDARD MODELS

TYPE 1
OUR BASIC AIRLOCK

The Smoot Type 1 is a basic, yet versatile airlock. With a wide range of options and accessories, and multiple sizes in stock, the Type 1 will operate efficiently in your system.

TYPE 2
DESIGNED FOR MORE ABRASIVE PRODUCTS

The Smoot Type 2 airlock is designed to handle moderately abrasive materials. The Type 2 is constructed with a cast iron housing with hard chrome plating on the interior machine surfaces to supply a long lasting, yet economical airlock.

TYPE 3
SEMI-FOOD GRADE

The Smoot Type 3 airlock is built to handle your sticky or cakey materials and is ideal for semi-food grade applications. The Type 3 is constructed with an epoxy coating of the interior throat for maximum protection, a hard chrome bore, as well as 304 stainless steel rotor to provide a durable and cost-effective alternative to complete stainless steel airlocks.

TYPE 4
304 STAINLESS STEEL

The Smoot Type 4 takes stainless steel to the next level with complete 304 stainless construction. The Type 4 will handle your mildly corrosive materials while maintaining the legendary Smoot toughness.

TYPE 5
316 STAINLESS STEEL

The Smoot Type 5 is constructed with 316 stainless steel, and is designed to handle extremely corrosive materials with ease.

TYPE 6
DESIGNED FOR THE MOST ABRASIVE PRODUCTS

The Smoot Type 6 airlock is constructed to withstand the most abrasive of materials. Built with rugged NiHard steel, a closed end rotor constructed of carbon steel, and Stellite on wear surfaces the Type 6 will outlast your toughest materials.

DC-9
DUST COLLECTOR DUTY AIRLOCK

The Smoot DC-9 is a light duty airlock designed specifically for dust collection applications.

 

AIR PURGE

SHAFT AIR PURGE (SAP)
SAP uses high pressure plant air to prevent the conveyed material from coming in contact with the shaft seals, therefore extending the life of the seals.

CAVITY AIR PURGE (CAP)
This US Patented design uses low pressure air from the convey blower, and purges the material from the cavity between the closed end shroud and housing end plates. This process dramatically reduces abrasion on the endplates and rotor.

 

ROTORS AND OPTIONS

OPEN END ROTORS
Open end rotors can be used in all applications not requiring abrasion-resistant construction. In addition to the cost savings they have slightly more capacity than a closed end rotor.

CLOSED END ROTORS
Closed end rotors are best used with abrasive materials and when replaceable tip rotor vanes are required.

REDUCED CAPACITY ROTORS
The flow properties of some products require large openings and wide rotor pockets. When low feed rates are required in conjunction with this type of product, it may be necessary to reduce the rotor capacity. This can be done on open or closed end rotors.

RELIEVED VANES ROTORS
Some materials can build up on the side surfaces of the airlock, causing the airlock to freeze up after running for a short time. Relieved vanes allow the rotor to keep the build-up of material scraped off, or sheared.

OPTIONS
• Open and Closed Rotors
• Relieved Vanes

• Teflon Coating
• Chrome Plating
• Round and Square Flange
• High Temperature modifications
• Special Paint
