The WAM LBC Series Lump Breaking Feeder Valve is designed to break up lumps and agglomerates in powdery or granular materials discharged from silos or hoppers. It is commonly used in industries that handle materials like cement, lime, fly ash, and other similar bulk solids.
Key Features and Functions:
Lump Breaking: The primary function is to break down lumps or agglomerates that may form during storage or transportation, ensuring a consistent and free-flowing material discharge.
Feeding: It also acts as a feeder, controlling the material flow rate.
Rotor with Blades: The valve features a rotor equipped with specially designed blades that rotate to break up the lumps. The blade configuration and rotation speed are optimized for efficient lump breaking.
Robust Construction: WAM LBC valves are typically made from durable materials like cast iron or steel to withstand abrasive materials and heavy-duty industrial applications.
Flanged Connections: The valves come with flanged connections for easy integration into existing conveying systems.
Various Sizes and Configurations: Available in various sizes and configurations to meet different flow rates and application requirements.
Applications:
The WAM LBC Series Lump Breaking Feeder Valve is commonly used in cement plants, concrete batching plants, lime processing, and other industries handling powdery or granular materials.
In the context of cement silo processing, the LBC valve is used to:
Prevent Blockages: Lumps can cause blockages in conveying systems, hindering the smooth flow of cement.
Ensure Consistent Feeding: Consistent feeding is crucial for accurate batching and mixing in concrete production.
Improve Material Handling Efficiency: Breaking down lumps improves material handling efficiency and reduces downtime.
