1. Introduction

Thank you for your purchase. Read and follow the instructions in this manual and in the

manufacturer’s manuals that are provided with your equipment. If these manuals are not included,

contact AGI Airlanco immediately for replacements prior to installation, operation, or maintenance.

This manual alongside the manufacturer’s manuals provide instructions and safety information to help

you install, operate, and maintain the fabricated airlock. If any information in these manuals are not

understood or if you need additional information, please contact AGI Airlanco or the manufacturer for

assistance.

The manuals should be regarded as part of the equipment and kept in a safe and accessible place.

1.1. Equipment Overview

Rotary airlocks have a rugged cast housing with inlet and outlet ports, a rotor, and a drive unit. It has multi-

bladed rotor that picks up the material in the pocket between two blades as it rotates. The air is sealed

between the inlet and outlet ports which allows the material to move downward through the valve while

maintaining the pressure differential between the two areas. The pressure or vacuum difference must be

maintained within the valve for proper function.

1.2. Intended Use

• Airlock is not a standalone device. It is intended to be installed within a larger system or process.

• AGI Airlanco fabricated airlocks are used in pneumatic conveying systems, dust collection systems, and

cyclone receiver installations to allow dry free-flowing materials to move between two areas of differing air

pressure.

1.3. Serial Number Location

The serial number location for your fabricated airlock is shown in the figure below. Have the serial number

ready when ordering parts or requesting service or other information. Record information in the table below for

easy reference.

Important Information

In the event of the resale of any of the goods, in whatever form, Resellers/Buyers will include the following

language in a conspicuous place and in a conspicuous manner in a written agreement covering such sale:

The manufacturer makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, by

operation of law or otherwise, as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular

purpose of the goods sold hereunder. Buyer acknowledges that it alone has deter-

mined that the goods purchased hereunder will suitably meet the requirements of

their intended use. In no event will the manufacturer be liable for consequential,

incidental or other damages. Even if the repair or replacement remedy shall be

deemed to have failed of its essential purpose under Section 2-719 of the Uniform

Commercial Code, the manufacturer shall have no liability to Buyer for consequential

Resellers/Buyers agree to also include this entire document including the warnings above in a con-

spicuous place and in a conspicuous manner in writing to instruct users on the safe usage of the product.

This instructions manual should be read together with all other printed information such as catalogs, supplied by

Grove Gear / Electra-Gear.

General Operation

1. Run the motor which drives the reducer and check the direction of reducer output rotation. Consult

motor nameplate for instructions to reverse the direction of rotation.

2. Attaching the load: On direct coupled installations, check shaft and coupling alignment between

speed reducer and loading mechanism. On chain/sprocket and belt/pulley installation, locate the

sprocket or pulley as close to the oil seal as possible to minimize overhung load. Check to verify that

the overhung load does not exceed specifications published in the catalog.
