Dust Collector Series (DCS) - Information
An economical, competitively priced valve suited for general
use under dust collectors, cyclones and hoppers. With standard
features most competitors call heavy-duty, all DCS airlocks
boast eight-blade rotors, precision machining and rugged
cast iron housings for efficient operation.
The Prater DCS airlocks can be configured for most application
requirements. By manufacturing airlocks with larger pockets
(up to 50% more volume) our airlocks can run at lower speed.
This provides the benefit of longer life, less maintenance and
higher return on investment. Knowing that temperature plays
a significant role in the operation of rotary airlock feeders,
ALL Prater airlocks are carefully machined for actual operating
temperature at no additional cost.

Available Options
 |
Beveled Rotor Tips
Increase operating efficiency by minimizing drag and horsepower. Typically used with fine products that can smear or pack between the housing and rotor tips. The trailing edge of each blade is machined at a 15º angle,
narrowing the “land area.” |
 |
Flexible Tips
Flexible tips are typically used for handling stringy or fibrous materials that would otherwise jam traditional, hard tip rotors.
For general use and are available in Neoprene® or Teflon®. |
 |
Motion Switch
A non-contact sensor that indicates loss of speed or zero speed, preventing damage to system components. |
| |
Drives
Direct coupled gear-motor
Available Motor Classes:
Totally Enclosed, Explosion Proof (TEXP) - for use in hazardous environments.
Totally Enclosed, Fan Cooled (TEFC) - This motor is probably the most commonly used motor
in ordinary industrial environments.
