Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Processing 

The CI and MD Series rotary airlock valves excel at maintaining the consistent, uniform flow needed for metering pharmaceutical ingredients, and they can be customized to fit most applications. In more specialized cases, you might need a BT Series blow-through valve to optimize air flow, or a mini- or micro-sized valve for small test batches. There are also rotors that limit pocket size or control material flow in various ways to suit your needs. Your supplier should be able to explain the best choice for your application.

For industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, rotary valves need the right coatings and features to prevent cross-contamination. We typically recommend either stainless-steel, Lectrofluor, or XTR-Coat to ensure your valve has the appropriate protection against sticking and corrosion. Smooth internal surfaces are an essential feature of any valve, but especially for sanitation. Finally, if you find yourself switching between batches often, consider a quick-cleaning design to reduce downtime.
