Rotary feeder
Key words:
GY type rotary feeder(also called star feeder or electric lock)
The GY type rotary feeder is a quantitative feeding device widely used in material conveying systems in industries such as cement, building materials, chemical engineering, metallurgy, and light industry.

How Does A Rotary Feeder Work?
A rotary feeder is a key mechanical device in industrial material handling, designed to control the steady, uniform flow of bulk materials (e.g., powders, granules, small solids) from hoppers, silos, or bins to downstream equipment like conveyors or mixers. Its main components include a rotating rotor (with vanes/pockets), a stationary housing, and a drive mechanism. As the rotor turns, its pockets capture materials, moving them from inlet to outlet; the tight rotor-housing seal prevents air leakage or backflow, suiting pressure and vacuum systems. Valued for reliability, precise metering, and versatility with materials (from fine powders to coarse aggregates), rotary feeders are widely used in agriculture, mining, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and waste management to enable efficient, uninterrupted material transfer.

Rotary Feeders, Rotary Valves, and Rotary Airlocks:Understanding the Differences
Differences Between Rotary Feeders, Valves, and Airlocks Rotary feeders primarily meter/transfer bulk solids (e.g., grains, powders) at controlled rates, prioritizing consistent material flow over airtightness. Rotary valves focus on on/off flow control of solids or gases; they regulate passage, not just feed, and may have basic sealing but not for high-pressure differential. Rotary airlocks are specialized for maintaining air/gas tightness (e.g., in pneumatic systems) while feeding solids. They prevent pressure loss between system sections, with tight clearances for sealing—their key function, unlike feeders/valves.

What Is A Rotary Feeder: A Key Device for Conveying Bulk Materials
The rotary feeder, also known as a star valve or airlock, is a crucial device for conveying bulk materials. It features a rotating impeller within a sealed housing, which evenly distributes and feeds materials from an upper hopper to a lower discharge point. Available in various types like electric, high-temperature, and wear-resistant models, it ensures airtightness and continuous, uniform feeding. Widely used in industries such as mining, chemical, and food processing, it prevents material leakage and maintains system efficiency.
